The surprise bestseller of 2006, now fully revised to
include dangerous Australian content
The book which became an international phenomenon, Conn and
Hal Iggulden's Dangerous Book for Boys, now comes with a stunning green
and gold cover.
It covers around eighty topics, including how to build a
treehouse, grow a crystal, or tell direction with a watch. Also included are
famous quotes, stories, battles, and phrases that "every boy should
know." In addition to all the information which made it such a hit - how
to make the perfect water bomb, how to read codes, what are the rules of
cricket, who were the Kings and Queens of Europe, what are the Seven Ancient
Wonders of the World - and just how do you deal with girls? This gorgeous
new edition is crammed with new Australian content.
Now you can read about local heroes like General John Monash
at Gallipoli and the battles of Somme, get the lowdown on creatures that crawl,
bite, sting and sometimes kill (and learn the first aid which can save you from
them). It features Prime Ministers of Australia with pictures for each in colour and the rules of Australian Rules Football
and lots more... With beautiful accompanying photographs, this is an
indispensible book for all Australian boys, from eight to eighty.
About the authors
Born in London, Conn Iggulden
read English at London University and worked as a teacher for seven years before
becoming a full-time writer. Married with two children, he lives in
Hertfordshire. His highly acclaimed debut novel, The Gates of Rome, was
an instant bestseller, remaining in the Sunday Times top ten for over
two months. It was the first novel in the Emperor series, in which he
brilliantly interweaves history and adventure to recreate the astonishing story
of Julius Caesar, an epic tale of ambition and rivalry, bravery and betrayal.
The second novel in the series, The Death of Kings, spent ten weeks in
the charts and reached the number 1 position. The Field of Swords is
set to emulate this success once again.
Hal Iggulden was born in 1972. He lives
in Leicester and is a theatre director with a love of astronomy, gadgets, dogs
and football.
