You are hereby invited to the Palace of Facts, where 400 astonishing facts are on display… Search the treasure room to find out facts about crystals; explore the fossil hall to dig up facts about dinosaurs; scale the observatory to spot facts about space; delve into the dungeons to discover hidden facts. On this marvellous journey, you will be accompanied by three characters – Pip, Alice and their dog Charley – who will lead you from room to room with witty and playful charm.

Every fact is woven into Andy Smith’s lavishly illustrated scenes. Inspired by the idea of a memory palace – where facts are located in imagined physical spaces – this unique book makes information both beautiful and memorable.
