In 1969, John Julius Norwich, the legendary popular historian, gathered together the favourite things he'd come across in the last 365 days into one short charming pamphlet. Initially just a treat for his friends, it rapidly turned into a huge word-of-mouth success.

Norwich had a brilliant eye for a story and telling detail, and his Crackers are full of jokes, warmth and wit.
