Author Nayden Kostov is a facts genius. He has dedicated his life to providing people with factual information on various subjects and has written numerous books and has his own successful website.

Now his son is at the age where he can read independently, Nayden has decided to write a factual book that is appropriate for both child and adults to read and contains information on the human body and lots of different animals.

Inside the book, you will find it split into two sections – Animals and Body. These two sections are then split into smaller sections, five for animals and seventeen for the body. The facts are also accompanied by Nayden’s young son’s drawings, which are just adorable.

To give you a small taste of what you will discover within the pages – Did you know that the cat flap was invented by Issac Newton? Or, that the oldest cat video on YouTube was filmed in 1894? What about the fact that a dog was hung for witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts? Or, that every second, your bone marrow produces two million red blood cells? Me neither.

Fascinating Facts for the Whole Family is a lot of fun and very educational and all the facts will be appreciated by both adults and children. I really enjoyed reading the book. It is something you can dip in and out of and very useful for coming up with quiz questions for your Christmas parties.

About the Author

Born in Bulgaria, I have lived in places like Germany, Belgium and Iraq, before settling down with my family in Luxembourg. With varied interests, I have always suffered from an insatiable appetite for facts stemming from an unrestrainable intellectual curiosity. It has certainly influenced my academic background and career: after acquiring Master degrees in Greek Philology, German and English Translation, I graduated in Crisis Management and Diplomacy and, most recently, undertook an MBA.

My career has been equally broad and diverse, swinging from that of an army paratrooper and a military intelligence analyst; through to that of a civil servant with the European Commission, and presently, that of a clerk, performing purely financial tasks in a major bank.
