Albert Jack is an English writer and historian. His books cover a range of subjects, including history, politics, war, etymology, food history, nursery rhymes, pub names, inventions, mysteries and urban legends. They have become bestsellers[1] in America, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Great Britain and Europe[citation needed] and have been translated into many[quantify] languages.[2][citation needed]
In 2004, his third book, Red Herrings and White Elephants, became a bestseller.[3] The book was serialized by The Sunday Times and the Daily Mirror and remained on the Sunday Times Bestseller List[3] for two years.
In 2005, Jack signed what would become a six-year contract with Pearson (Penguin) to write a series of follow-up titles.[4] Pop Goes the Weasel, his study of the dark history of children's nursery rhymes, also became a worldwide bestseller[5] in 2008 and What Caesar did for My Salad[6] followed suit in 2010.[7]
