The Little Book of Famous Last Words

A compact collection of more than 175 of the funniest and most celebrated last gasps of famous and fabulous people just before they kicked the bucked.

Last words can come in all shapes and sizes. From comic quips to profound deathbed wit, shocking and surprising final revelations, delicious puns and too-good turns of phrase, gravestone gags and premature celebrations... or even just awkward and unfortunate quotes the speaker ended up eating.

Indeed, this tiny tome is stacked to the rafters with notable people, past, present, who are still very much alive and quipping - though not for long. From the long-time dead to the recently deceased (or simply dying of embarrassment; see Liz Truss), Nostradamus to Leonardo da Vinci, Henry VIII to Princess Diana, these famous last words span centuries and continents and will no doubt echo through eternity.
