Things Around You

Line Renslebråten

This book takes you on a fun journey through your house, room by room. Did you know, for example, that the first vacuum cleaner had to be pulled by a horse? That the world’s most expensive sofa was sold for 3.3 million dollars?
Do you know what people ate as candy 500 years ago? And what did people use before toilet paper was invented?
Things Around You is packed with fun facts, quirky inventions, and strange tales. Look around your home. The TV, the toilet, the toothbrush? They all have a history. And you’ll hear some of those stories right here.
