I stumbled across an article on The Dangerous Book for Boys and was quite fascinated by it. This is truly a Legacy Dad book, though I have not read it, it looks great. Disney has also snatched up the rights to make a film out of the books content.
Here is a preview:
Equal parts droll and gorgeous nostalgia book and heartfelt plea for arenewed sense of adventure in the lives of boys and men, Conn and HalIggulden's The Dangerous Book for Boysbecame a mammoth bestseller in the United Kingdom in 2006.
Adapted, inmoderation, for American customs in this edition (cricket is gone,rugby remains; conkers are out, Navajo Code Talkers in), The Dangerous Bookis a guide book for dads as well as their sons, as a reminder of loreand technique that have not yet been completely lost to the digitalage.
Recall the adventures of Scott of the Antarctic and the Battle ofthe Somme, relearn how to palm a coin, tan a skin, and, mostcharmingly, wrap a package in brown paper and string. The book'sambitions are both modest and winningly optimistic: you get the sensethat by learning how to place a splint or write in invisible ink, a boymight be prepared for anything, even girls (which warrant a small butwise chapter of their own).
