Summary
"This 'quite interesting' catalogue of frequent misconceptions in 'common knowledge' will make you wonder why anyone bothers to go to school. If you still think that Henry VIII had six wives, that water has no colour, that Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain, and that Earth has only one moon, then you need this book." -- Back cover.
