Many of the simple games enjoyed by children for centuries are rapidly disappearing because of restrictive regulations and the lure of the computer, and so English Heritage has conducted a survey of its members requesting information about the traditional games they enjoyed as children. The results are published in this charming book - an A-Z of such intriguing games as Finger, Thumb or Rusty Bum, Eggity Budge and Knocking Down Ginger, as well as old favourites like Hopscotch, Jacks and It.
