A humorous, informative guide to the life and career of British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, the unlikely heartthrob it's okay to be obsessed with.

Follow today's hottest actor on his journey from Cumberboy to Cumberbabe. He's made 'geektelligence' hot in the insanely popular BBC series Sherlock, attracted critical acclaim in 12 Years a Slave and The Fifth Estate, and explored his dark side in blockbusters like Star Trek: Into Darkness and the Hobbit trilogy. Along the way, he's won the hearts, minds, and Twitter accounts of an alarmingly enthusiastic global fan base, many of whom refer to themselves as 'Cumberbitches'.

But who is Benedict Cumberbatch, and why do teenagers, their parents, and everyone in between love him so much? Illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, Cumberlicious is an essential guide to the man at the centre of the Cumberverse.
