Williams is a teller of lost tales that surprise, entertain, shock, and invite us to ponder meaning. This book tells much about little-known historical figures as well as famous personages. It is information that startles with irony and relevance. It is as much the way Williams tells his tales as the stories and information that keeps us reading.
