What do you do if you're Sartre and your sink is stuffed? Apart from bemoan the meaningless of your life, that is. Or if you're Goethe and your bath needs sealing, Mark Twain and your wallpaper needs hanging?
This fun little book is a ditty to literary greats and DIY manual in one, perfect for those who'd love their hands to be as nimble as their head. It teams up bookish tidbits with handy hints and illustrations by famed artists like da Vinci, Hokusai and Rembrandt. Squeaky floorboards? Carpet stains? Broken window panes? Fix your household "hotspots" and keep your brain busy at the same time!
This is a pastiche with a purpose from the creator of the runaway sensation Kafka's Soup.
