This may not be the greatest book ever, but it fills a huge hole, and I for one look forward to Volume II. I and a friend, when we were about 10, made a go-kart just like that described, and the paper aeroplane detailed in this book comfortably beats my previous "favourite design", (gleaned from a Rupert Annual many years ago). You learn something every day. It's a great book and while learning bits of Shakespeare won't be to everyone's taste, there will be something - many things in fact - that WILL be to everyone's taste. I bought my copy on impulse in a book shop for £18.99, I'm here buying another for the 50+ year-old friend with whom I built the go-kart all those years ago! :-) If you have kids, or grandchildren, or godchildren (or simply remember being one yourself) buy it!

Bradley "Selah" (Hexham United Kingdom) - See all my reviews    I was most gratified at the way my 8-yr-old grandson's eyes lit up when he opened my birthday present. I feel I have earned "brownie points" with this one - and it's always so difficult knowing what to surprise them with. The book is "magnificent" in its presentation - congratulations for THAT! but I have a very happy little grandson this year! It made an immediate impact. Thank you!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
