Critic reviews

"The perfect handbook for boys and dads." ( Daily Telegraph)
"Full of tips on how to annoy your parents." ( Evening Standard)
"An old-fashioned compendium of information on items such as making catapults and knot-tying...the end of the PlayStation may have been signalled." ( The Times)
"Tree climbing apart, this is little more than a collection of stories about famous battles and brave men, a few heroic poems and random information on the wonders of the world, how to find the pole star and the origins of words such as 'hooligans'." ( The Guardian)
