How did the children of the 1950’s and ‘60’s pass the time without smart phones (mostly, they didn’t even have TV!). What could you do with a hankie, an egg and spoon, some string, a piece of paper, a sliver of soap, or a torch? Nowadays, technology dominates everything, and this book is an attempt to revive a few games that need nothing more than imagination, a friend or two, a sense of humour, and a moment to have a good time without a care in the world. With illustrative, vintage-style cartoons and easy-to-follow instructions (even for the youngest readers), Games from yester-year for all year round brings today’s children into contact with the fondly remembered games that used to bring families together for hours.
