A perfect birthday gift for anyone! A universal quirk of mankind is that each one of us is quite possessive of our personal day - our birthday. We are fascinated by what else happened on 'our' day over the centuries, and this little booklet contains an eclectic selection of those events. Not just births, deaths, wars, crashes and catastrophes but sports achievements, accomplishments in the arts and entertainment, and a smattering of interesting and fun trivia.
