Sandi Toksvig was born in Denmark, brought up in Africa, then America and moved to the UK when she was fourteen. She has been on British stage, screen and radio for over forty years and was awarded an OBE for Services to Broadcasting. She is the mother of three children, married and lives in London.

genius as a raconteur inherited from her Danish journalist
father... Hop on this bus, grab a seat up top and prepare yourself
for a fun-filled, fact-packed, memorable ride

curiosities with a wise and kind guide; it's part celebration, part
confession, part call to arms and wholly entertaining. Don't read
it on the bus though - it will make you miss your stop
