Have you ever wondered how books get their titles? Why the postman doesn't ring thrice, what Wordsworth's The Prelude is actually a prelude to, why The Swiss Family Robinson isn't about a family called Robinson, or why anyone should be afraid of Virginia Woolf? This expansion of Gary Dexter's popular Sunday Telegraph column answers these and other vexed questions and, in the process, offers a series of entertaining diversions through the highways and byways of literature.
