    About this ebook

    'Floor Games' is a delightful book by H.G. Wells about the fun children can have with some simple toys and a lot of imagination. The author's humorous tone in this book makes it an entertaining read for parents, but Wells also provides deeply personal anecdotes about playing with his children. Wells' celebrated creativity is clear to see as the games he describes are about inventing worlds out of one's imagination, constructing cities and empires from a few wooden blocks. 'Floor Games' is an influential book that is used by psychotherapists to assist children's development by learning through play. A perfect read for parents who are weary of the internet age and anyone who wishes to reminisce about their childhood.-
