This eclectic gallimaufry showcases his favourites: we witness the tragic ends of the Ancient Greek tragedians, learn the name of George Orwell's pet cockerel and rummage through Joan Didion's travelling bag; we consider the history of literary fart jokes, orbit the Shakespearean moons of Uranus and meet several pigs with wings. From the sublime to the ridiculous - and everything in between ­- Eliot's lists, recommendations and nuggets of trivia will delight, inspire and surprise anyone who loves reading.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeautifully presented with supplementary maps and illustrations,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e Henry Eliot's Book of Bookish Lists\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the essential gift for book-lovers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40992536035362,"sku":"9780241562727","price":37.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/0785\/1042\/products\/Copy-of-Book-Template-1235.jpg?v=1672193560","url":"https:\/\/petronella.pro\/products\/eliots-book-of-bookish-lists","provider":"Petronella's Gallery and Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
