The stories behind the most fascinating words in the English language
ALBERT JACK is a writer and historian. His first book, Red Herrings
and White Elephants, explored the origins of well-known phrases; an
international bestseller, it was serialised by the Sunday Times for
over a year. He followed up this success with a series of
bestsellers including Shaggy Dogs and Black Sheep and Pop Goes the
Weasel, a book exploring the dark histories and little-known
meanings behind nursery rhymes.
Fascinated by discovering the truth behind the world's great
stories, Albert has become an expert in explaining the unexplained.
He is now a veteran of hundreds of live television shows and
thousands of radio appearances worldwide. He divides his time
between Guildford and Cape Town.
