Product reviews for The Little Book of Awe and Wonder

Dr Matthew McFall is an accomplished illusionist and in this delightful book he takes us into a fascinating realm of illusions, puzzles, paradoxes and curiosities, both in words and pictures. Building upon the idea of the Renaissance -˜Cabinet of Curiosities', he progresses in six chapters through a diorama of optical, linguistic, medical and other wonders. But this is a book with a message: always be willing to see the unexpected in the ordinary and never be shy about enquiring that little bit further -” and around the next corner! As he tells us in the Prologue, -˜Curiosity did not kill the cat, but it did make her smarter.' A feast of learning, wit and lateral thinking.
