You'll find answers to how the Komodo dragon influenced Hollywood, why colonial officials were secret pill poppers, what you do at the Get-Rich-Quick Tree, how the use of Wanted posters to catch criminals developed in the Malay world and much much more. There's a good smattering of serious and zany black and white illustrations as well. 396 pages.
