The Handbook of Forgotten Skills is an illustrated step-by-step guide to classic fun and handy skills for a new generation.

- Make a bird feeder
- Write a thank-you note
- Make a pie
- Build a campfire
- Use a compass
- Wrap a gift with brown paper and string
- Sew by hand

Featuring art by Chris Duriez, each chapter includes clear, illustrated step-by-step instructions as well as information about the history of that skill. For example, did you know that lemonade is credited with helping fight the plague in Paris? Or that paper airplanes became popular during World War II because traditional toys weren't available? With so many activities to explore, Handbook of Forgotten Skills: Timeless Fun for a New Generation is a perfect gift book that kids will turn to again and again.
