ABOUT THIS BOOK

Whether history was your favourite subject or not, The Grand History Quiz will evoke keen interest in history as it unravels magnificent stories from the past, leading you on a quest of exciting discovery.
Authors Berty Ashley and Akhila Phadnis have clubbed a wide variety of questions that will make you want to learn more about certain periods and individuals, rather than merely finding the right answer. All the ten chapters have questions that cover cultural history, architecture, famous rulers, important events and cities. So get ready to fight the toughest battles, meet kings and queens, discover ancient artefacts, explore buried cities and much more.

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

BERTY ASHLEY is a molecular biologist with the Dystrophy Annihilation Research Trust and
works with rare genetic disorders. What is not rare though is to see him conducting quizzes or
attending them. He is the author of the popular ‘Easy Like Sunday Morning’ series of quizzes
published in The Hindu Sunday Magazine. Berty is also a lover of music—not only playing but
collecting, as is evident by his growing stack of vinyl records of Jazz, Prog, Hindustani and Heavy
metal music. He and his partner, Akhila, live in Bengaluru, surrounded by books, music and an
assortment of pens and guitars.
AKHILA PHADNIS is a freelance translator. She holds a Masters in Translation Studies from
Durham University, UK, and also in Psychology from Madras University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
She enjoys reading, practicing calligraphy, learning new languages, quizzing, board games and
taking long walks by the beach.
