The Dangerous Book for Boys - 2 Volumes (Paperback)

The best of The Dangerous Book for Boys and never-before-published texts! The only book that revives old games, tricks, and reveals interesting facts about courageous characters and famous battles. A mix of almanac, encyclopedia, and survival manual for boys, now in a pocket-sized version. How many other books can teach you how to make a bow and arrow, play poker, or write with invisible ink? The perfect book for all boys aged eight to eighty is back, bringing new content: remarkable facts; bizarre murders; interesting facts about famous battles, sports, and historical figures; new games; riddles; how to make a candle and even a garden rocket! A collaboration between Conn Iggulden—author of the Emperor and The Conqueror series—and his brother, Hal Iggulden, the work is a tribute to the long summer afternoons of their youth, containing vital information for fathers and sons, and men of all ages. Throughout the book's production, the authors relived these moments, retracing every stage of the play: they made paper airplanes, pocket lanterns, made candles, and recalled games and riddles. With over 1 million copies sold in England, THE DANGEROUS BOOK FOR BOYS is a timeless bestseller whose film rights were acquired by Disney after a fierce battle between four major production companies.
