Book Synopsis

''I LOVE THE BOOK... A BRILLIANT READ'' Chris Evans, Radio 2 Breakfast Show

ALSO OUT NOW: THE MYSTERIUM, the must-have follow-up to The Odditorium

''This book, that I approached with caution, turns out to be magnificent. Tested it with the Moondog entry. Passed A+'' Danny Baker, Radio 5Live

A CELEBRATION OF CURIOSITY AND OBSESSION
Step into a world of gloriously unpredictable characters such as Ivor Cutler, Quentin Crisp, Joe Orton, Reginald Bray, Ken Campbell, Screaming Lord Sutch, Sun Ra, Buckminster Fuller, Timothy Leary and Ayn Rand.

The Odditorium is a playful re-telling of history, told not through the lens of its victors, but through the fascinating stories of a wealth of individuals who, while lesser-known, are no less remarkable.

Throughout its pages you''ll learn about the antics and adventures of tricksters, eccentrics, deviants and inventors. While their stories range from heroi
