by Conn Iggulden (Author), David Iggulden (Author), Conn Iggulden (Author)

Synopsis

From the co-author of the bestselling 'The Dangerous Book for Boys', this is a book of heroes, new and old, known and sadly forgotten, now to be glorified as they ought to be. From Captain Scott to Joe Simpson, from Douglas Bader to Ernest Shackleton, from Gertrude Bell to Emily Pankhurst, Conn Iggulden brings our great heroes from history back to life. Filled with the British sense of fair play and decency that made 'The Dangerous Book for Boys' so popular, 'The Dangerous Book of Heroes' celebrates those who fought for what is right and good, those who made amazing discoveries, those who moved boundaries in their lifetimes. A book of heroes written by Conn Iggulden, a man who knows what makes a hero.

'It should have a powerful and instructive effect on the children who read it'
Telegraph

`Just the ticket to real-life derring-do...A summer treat that will raise a gasp and a chuckle long after the last grain of sand has fallen from its pages'
