An American Woman in Paris
An American writer Anne Parrish and her husband were on holiday in Paris in 1920. They were browsing bookshops, and Anne picked up a book that was a particular favorite of hers, “Jack Frost and Other Stories.” Anne told her husband that she had been given a copy as a child by her parents and had wonderful memories of the book.
Anne’s husband took the book and opened it. On the inside cover, there was a handwritten inscription. It said, “Anne Parrish, 209 N Weber Street, Colorado Springs”. The inscription was written in Anne’s handwriting. It was Anne’s very own book from all those years ago!

The King’s Double
The eighteenth century Italian King, Umberto went to a restaurant in Monza with General Emilio Ponzia Vaglia. The owner of the restaurant took King Umberto’s order. The King noticed that he and the restaurant owner looked almost identical. They could almost have been brothers.
As they discussed how similar they looked, they found out that they were both born on the 14th of March 1844. They had both been born in the same town. They both married women called Margherita. The owner of the restaurant opened his restaurant on the same day Umberto was crowned King.

The Mysterious Plum Pudding
Emile Deschamps was in a restaurant when a stranger called Monsieur de Fortgibu sent over some plum pudding.
Ten years later Deschamps was in a Paris restaurant and noticed plum pudding on the menu. He asked the waiter to bring him of the pudding. The waiter said he was very sorry, but the last of the plum pudding had just been served to a gentleman behind Deschamps. When Deschamps turned to see who it was, it was Monsieur de Fortgibu!
Six years after that coincidence in 1832 Deschamps was at a dinner party and was offered plum pudding. At the same time as Deschamps was telling his fellow diners the story of the plum pudding coincidences, an old Monsieur de Fortgibu walked into the room!
