Boy brings encyclopaedia to book

A schoolboy has uncovered several mistakes in the latest edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica - regarded by readers as an authority on everything.

Lucian George, 12, from north London, found five errors on two of his
favourite subjects - central Europe and wildlife - and wrote to complain.

The book's editor wrote back thanking him for "pointing out several errors
and misleading statements".

A Britannica spokesman said the company was "grateful".

He was right, all right
