The Plums of Plato: A Sackful of Surprises from Ancient Greece Jasper Heathcoat-Beech

When it comes to new knowledge, nothing beats stuff we didn't know before. So the fortuitous discovery of a treasure trove of previously unknown manuscripts illuminating the life, times and teachings of the great philosopher Plato is a milestone in anyone's book. Especially this one. How crucial will it turn out to be? The jury's out. And it may not be coming back. Join Professor Jasper Heathcoat-Beech as he rolls his sleeves up, rummages in the murky corners and quirky crevices of Ancient Greece, and really gets his hands dirty. It's a plum job! [NB: this book is a spoof work of history. A previous version was published as 'Plato's Plums'.]
