Bizarre Laws of the UK for Kids

By Monty Lord

'They say that ignorance of the law is no defence. So thank goodness for Monty's book. I had no idea I was running so many risks in terms of how I have been leading my life Lots of fun to be had here.' - Sir. Peter Wanless, CB - Chief Executive, NSPCC

Have you ever heard a bizarre law and thought, that can't possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that became so embellished over time? There are surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence on the statute books today, that would make your jaw drop. Whilst bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws on a regular basis?

For example...

Is it illegal to own a pet whale but not a tiger?Is it illegal to cause a nuclear explosion?Were mince pies once illegal?Was Dr. Frankenstein ever real?Why was cricket against the law?Why does The King hold an MP prisoner?

...all these questions and more will be answered in this latest book by Monty Lord.

This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys reading about the more bizarre applications of UK law throughout the centuries along with some rather macabre consequences along the way.
