About the Author

Despite finding time to write historical novels and The Dangerous Book for Boys, Conn Iggulden is in some ways better known as a trainer of Tollins. His Tollin troupe, "Small and Mighty," are famous in Tasmania, where they often play to packed houses. "It used to be just a hobby," he says, "but when you’ve seen a display of Tollin synchronized flying, you realize it’s your life’s work. Also, they can be transported in shoe boxes, so it’s pretty cheap to get around."

Customer Reviews

Heavy Thinking, Light Book
This book is ideal as a "thinking of you" gift for that boy on your list. But for an actual birthday or holiday, you may want to buy the more comprehensive The Dangerous Book for Boys or the equally amazing The Big Book of Boy Stuff.

This pocket book is composed mostly of the facts included in its source book, with perhaps 25% new material. Like the original, it is attractively designed, and more importantly, it's well-bound, so it can stand up to the wear and tear of kids involved in heavy thinking. :)

Teacher Recommended, Parent Approved!
This book came recommended as summertime library reading for our son...decided to buy it for Christmas (dangerous boys need their own books as they also tend to destroy). Content is informative but not in the least boring! Excellent Father-son stuff, too!

The Pocket Dangerous Book for Boys: Things to Know
My wife and I purchased this book for our 9 year old Grandson hoping it will help him develop into a well rounded young man when he grows up.
