The humble conker has, over the last fifty years, become a symbol of happier "days gone by" when the world was believed to be a simpler place. Rather unusually, as we will discover, the conker has also come to embody the spirit of the backlash against the rules and directives of those employed to ensure that health and safety regulations are not breached. Rediscover the marvellous game of conkers and reconnect with nature and one's true self. Packed with curious information, "The Great Book Of Conkers" covers everything you might need to become a potted expert on the subject. What part did conkers play in the First World War? Why do we call some yarns "old chestnuts"? Who played conkers with caravans attached to cranes? The answers to these questions and many other queries are to be found in this thought provoking and accessible volume.

James J. Browne (1962- ) has managed to survive for over 50 years whilst having had many diverse and not necessarily interesting occupations. He has been, prior to leaving Blighty, a professional musician, a tour guide, road sweeper, recycling operative, telephone fortune teller, insulation installation operative, light bulb packer, antique dealer, waiter, sea shell salesman and barman to name but a few. James is also a graduate in Art History and a qualified EFL teacher. It was his brief career as a taxi driver, during the Crash, that decided it was time for him to leave England behind. His work as a château guardian in France inspired him to write "The Three Grand Brits". He has maintained a life long interest in all things considered supernatural and incorporates these into his written work. He started to read palms and the tarot during his early teens and was giving professional readings at the age of sixteen. Presently, he lives and travels with his long suffering partner Samantha and two golden retrievers in a Fiat Ducato.
