Interesting Facts

The first in an occasional series of posts relating interesting facts that I have discovered during the course of the day (and when I can't think of anything else to post).

Ok, how about this then. Arthur Ransome, the English novelist - famed for "Swallows and Amazons" and "We didn't Mean to go to Sea" - was married to Leon Trotsky's secretary.

I always like interesting facts that appear that they've stepped straight out of a Monty Python sketch, or even one involving Peter Cook and John Cleese.
