Everything on this list has been traded, taxed, faked, smuggled, worshipped or banned at some point. Curious Unknown Histories takes one of them at a time and tells the stories that did not make it into the general histories: the accidents, the frauds, the routes, and the people who happened to be standing there when something changed.
Each book stands on its own and the chapters can be read in any order. There is no sequence to follow and nothing to catch up on.
