Bragg, G. (2011). How they croaked: The awful ends of the awfully famous. New York, NY: Walker Publishing Company, Inc.
How They Croaked is about true stories of how some of the most important figures in history died. Historical figures deaths such as of Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Christopher Columbus, Marie Curie, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and others. Caesar died the same way he came into this world, by a knife (stabbed) and Cleopatra died from two pricks on her arm from a poisoned hairpin. Georgia Bragg continues explaining the deaths of the other historical figures in this biographical book in a very peculiar way. It is interesting to know how the lives of these important people intersected in some way and Bragg provides a timeline to prove this interaction in this book.
