  The weird and the wonderful, the bizarre and the strange - this book contains quotes on pea throwing, nude hunting, tree impersonating and magnificent miserliness. The Remarkable Glutton , The Mad Embalmer and The Great Water-Spouter are just some of an eccentric cast of curious characters to hand. The words of the famous - from Jerome K. Jerome and Oscar Wilde to Mark Twain and William McGonagall - are included. Eccentrics of all ages and from different lands are united here in a display of unorthodox behaviour which is likely to unbalance the most steady of readers.
