Product Description

How many other books will help you identify cloud formations, list the seven wonders of the world, and recite the best quotations from Shakespeare? The Dangerous Book for Boys gives you facts and figures at your fingertips: find out the five poems every boy should know, learn about famous battles, and read inspiring stories of incredible courage and bravery. There's a whole world out there; with this audiobook, anyone can get out and explore it.

The Dangerous Book for Boys is written with the verve and passion that readers of Conn Iggulden's number-one best selling novels have come to expect. This book, his first non-fiction work, has been written with his brother as a celebration of the long summers of their youth and as a compendium of information so vital to men of all ages.

Chapters in The Dangerous Book for Boys include "The Seven Ancient Wonders of the World", "Famous Battles", "Extraordinary Stories", "A Brief History of Artillery", "Sampling Shakespeare", "Patron Saints of Britain", "Five Poems Every Boy Should Know", "The British Empire", "Questions About the World", "Latin Phrases Every Boy Should Know", and "The Origin of Words".

These selections from The Dangerous Book for Boys were chosen for easy, enjoyable listening independent of the book.

Great Stuff, Whizzo 7 July 2006
By J. Chippindale TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
I must have missed something along the way regarding the title of the book, and I certainly do not think it is the best choice, but that aside the book is a wealth of vital information for boys, young and old.

It is the type of book that William Brown (Just William) and his gang would have had hidden under the bed, or under a pile of dry leaves in the den.

It is full of vital information, stories of incredible courage, acts of bravery, the best places to capture your very own pirate. How to make a camera, even information about girls. There is information about dinosaurs, fishing (an essential pastime), even how to make crystals. All the things a young man needs to know about.

If you once owned a penknife with a special tool to take stones out of horses hooves, then this book is essential for you. And if you didn't well read it anyway, you will have lots of fun doing so.

Just the Job! 18 July 2006
Format:Hardcover
Having read the reviews both here and in the newspapers I was prepared to be disappointed, but when my son was given a copy for his 9th birthday it really came up to scratch. Despite living in this computer age this book has inspired my son in so many ways, as well as given me both happy memories and some projects to look forward to. Thoroughly recommended.

Well, what can I say except "WOW!" I bought this book for my husband, purely as a 'joke' gift, and at the time, there were no reviews to read, so I bought this book purely because of its title.

My husband loves this book, as does my father, when visiting today, couldn't put it down, so I sent him home with the promise that I'd buy him one also.
