The hilarious British comic Philomena Cunk narrates her own encyclopedia of the world. Her voice and delightful British accent are half the fun as Cunk combines real facts with absurd falsehoods in every entry. The best part is that she delivers the information without a hint of sarcasm. Americans and other non-Brits won't get some of the jokes or references to British television, film, and politics, but that doesn't matter. The creators of "Brush Strokes," a British sitcom that aired from 1986 to 1991, owe Cunk royalties for all the times she works the series into her entries. Want to know what happened during the Dark Ages, the reign of Henry VIII, or the conquests of Alexander the Great? Cunk has you covered. M.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
From the creator and star of the “deeply funny, unexpectedly informative” (The Daily Beast) Netflix mockumentary Cunk on Earth, a helpful guide covering every single topic in the known universe, from Adam and Eve to Top Gun.
Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that changes the world. The Origin of Species. War and Peace. 1984. And now, Cunk on Everything: The Encyclopedia Philomena, by Philomena Cunk.
Philomena Cunk is one of the greatest thinkers of the 21st century, and in Cunk on Everything she turns her attention to our biggest issue: why are there so many books?

Read it, and you'll never have to read another book again.
