A treasury of fascinating, serendipitous and occasionally downright peculiar information.
'Brewer's Cabinet Of Curiosties' is an irresistibly browsable collection of bizarre and out-of-the-way information, with a strong phrase-and-fable slant, but also including anecdotes, odd news reports, quotations, superstitions, tall tales and frankly unbelievable truths.
As in the Cabinets of Curiosities of 17th and 18th-century collectors and connoisseurs, 'Brewer's Cabinet Of Curiosities' has myriad drawers, cupboards and hidden compartments, wherein the reader may be lost for ever in search of the next freakish specimen or startling revelation.
