The podcast, Aaron Mahnke’s Cabinet of Curiosities, has delighted millions of listeners for years with tales of the wonderful, astounding, and downright bizarre people, places, and things throughout history. Now, in Cabinet of Curiosities the book, learn the fascinating story of the invention of the croissant in a country that was not France, and relive the adventures of a dog that stowed away and went to war, only to help capture a German spy. Along the way, readers will pass through the American state of Franklin, watch Abraham Lincoln’s son be rescued by his assassin’s brother, and learn how too many crash landings inspired one pilot to leave the airline industry and trek for the stars.
For the first time ever, Aaron has gathered scores of his favorites in print, and curated them into a beautiful, topical collection for devoted followers and new fans alike.
For anyone who enjoys Ripley's, this collection is for you. A mixed bag of stories featuring people, animals, locations and objects with odd stories attached, there's something for everyone between the covers. Although some can be explained away or are simple coincidences, some are definitely harder to brush aside - like James Dean's cursed car, or the ring that tore a swathe through the musicians of the era!
There's definitely something in this collection that will stay with you for quite some time, and I can't wait to compare with other readers and see which one stayed with them!
Cabinet of Curiosities publishes on the 12th November, 2024. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
