  A Suitcase Full of Koalas is a modern, edgy travel book set to test your wits and memory for detail. Gallivanting around London and somewhere distinctly south of the great capital in a sleepy seaside village, the author finds herself handing out tiny furry koalas to the English, to the Polish, to the Italians, in fact to anyone who cares to accept the little fellas as a gift from Australia. In her moochings over a month, she manages to meet a myriad of characters from all walks of life who practically jump off the pavements, à la Mary Poppins and Bert, and into the book.  
   
  This is a book about life and living – about the human condition and quest for feathering one’s own nest. As John Donne observed, ‘No man is an island’, but sometimes we yearn to embrace solitude and sit with ourselves and a good book. A Suitcase Full of Koalas will inevitably tickle your fancy and have you laughing on every other page. But that’s a good thing, isn’t it?

  THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an American television sitcom created by Andy and Susan Borowitz, airing on NBC from 1990 to 1996. The series stars Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, a street-smart teen from West Philadelphia who moves in with his wealthy relatives in Bel-Air. The show humorously explores the clash between Will's working-class background and his relatives' upper-class lifestyle. The sitcom was a top hit for NBC, running for 148 episodes over six seasons, and is considered to be a watershed moment for hip-hop and Black television. The series led to a reunion special and a dramatic reboot titled Bel-Air. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The show's premise was based on the life of Benny Medina, who grew up poor but then lived with a wealthy family, but the show changed the family to a rich Black family so it could explore black-on-black prejudice and class differences. The series was created by Andy and Susan Borowitz, and they based the cousins on Quincy Jones' daughters.  
    
  Will Smith, who was known as one half of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, was in debt due to unpaid taxes when he was offered a role in the show. He met Benny Medina by chance and then auditioned for NBC chief Brandon Tartikoff on the spot, securing a contract that night in a limo.  
    
  The pilot episode was written and taped in about three weeks. The show's theme song, "Yo Home to Bel Air," was written and performed by Will Smith under his stage name, with music composed by Quincy Jones.

  A Comic History Of Rome - A Wry...

  Forget dusty textbooks and noble senators. The real history of Rome is a chaotic, blood-soaked circus of power-crazed maniacs, backstabbing politicians, and enough megalomaniacs in togas to outfit a farce. 
  Behind the marble pillars and glittering triumphs lay a world of two-faced demagogues and ruthless ambition. Gilbert Abbott A Beckett’s legendary Comic History of Rome drags the Eternal City’s glorious past into the gloriously witty gutter where it belongs. 
  This is history as the finest form of satire. Witness the original sibling rivalry between Romulus and Remus, which ended—like so much in Rome—in betrayal. From the daring escape of Cloelia from the Etruscan camp to the grim reality of the gladiatorial arena, no sacred cow is left unskewered. A Beckett’s narrative, both “compendious and correct,” guides you through the chaos with dry, avuncular wit, suggesting we take the reign of Romulus with “an entire cellar of salt.” 
  Now, listen as the venerable figures of antiquity are revived in all their farcical glory: eavesdrop on the Senate’s petty squabbles, follow Hannibal’s troublesome Alpine holiday, and endure the terrible poetry and even worse governance of Emperor Nero. The original illustrations are vividly brought to life through the narrator's sharp performance, preserving the unique charm of this classic. 
  So, don your metaphorical laurel wreath and ready your laughter. This audiobook invites you to experience the hilarious rise and fall of an empire—a story far richer, and funnier, than any textbook would ever dare admit.
