商品簡介
A year-round treasure trove of games, hobbies and pastimes -- from cribbage and consequence through recipes and magic tricks, to sardines and forfeits.
Easy-to-follow and jam-packed with activities for all ages, this is a book to dip into at any day of any season, but it is also a compendium to savour for years to come. Whether Charades at Christmas or Mad Scientist at Halloween, a Treasure Hunt as a birthday surprise, or Gin Rummy with your Grandma, there are games and activities for all occasions.
The fascinating stories behind the pastimes connect us to times gone by and help us understand our culture just a little better. Britain has a long tradition of truly wonderful pastimes, which are a welcome and inexpensive alternative to round-the-clock 'digitainment'.
From party games, card games, and magic tricks to things to do on a picnic, in the car or even in the kitchen, this book has something for everyone every day of the year.
