Before joining Usborne, Simon worked in Moscow as sports editor for a local paper. These days he writes about things that aren't actually real, but are very important nevertheless. Mysteries and monsters and impossible quests in faraway realms that you won't find on any map. All the sort of stuff he loved as a child, basically. (And still does.)
<p>A write-in book of quick, simple games, perfect for playing on the go. With over 200 pages to play 20 traditional games such as battleships, hangman and noughts and crosses, as well as less well-known games such as caterpillar, shooting stars and minefield. Each game has clear instructions and several colourful pages with grids and game outlines already in place for children to write on. Eliminates the need for lots of spare paper, making it ideal for long journeys and holidays.<br></p>
