Do words fail you? Every word has a meaning, but over the years those meanings change. This title reveals that many of the words you use every day without ever realising that their up-to-date definition is something entirely different.

A compendium of incredible facts, each one culled from the hugely acclaimed BBC Radio and Australian TV show The Unbelievable Truth. It also includes essays on a diverse range of subjects from Armadillos to Sir Walter Raleigh by the show's co-inventor - each essay contains five incredible truths, concealed amongst a host of barely credible lies.
