• Which explorer found the lost site of Jesus' first miracle?• Who was first to the top of the highest mountain in Peru?• Who was the first Westerner to visit the Ottoman harem in Constantinople?• Who held the world record as the only person to fly from Britain to Australia for 44 years?You'll find the answers to these questions and more in Mick Conefrey's charming new book (a hint: none of them had beards).
