Rily Publications Ltd Wales on the Map: Quiz Book
Book SynopsisTest your knowledge about Wales at home, in the classroom, in the pub. Get family and friends together to find out how much you really know about Wales! This paperback quiz book is linked to the new Wales on the Map picture atlas. Breathtaking artwork by Valériane Leblond and splendid content by author Elin Meek.Trade ReviewAn ideal gift, souvenir or stocking filler, the Wales on the Map Quiz Book has something for everyone. A youngster learning about Wales at home or in school, (whilst using and enjoying the accompanying picture atlas, perhaps); an adult native to Wales who wishes to check or bring knowledge up-to-date; a Welsh learner or tourist interested in finding out more about Wales whilst on a visit, or even a seasoned quizzer within or beyond Wales – they all will love this fun quiz book from Rily. With its striking dust jacket and evocative graphics by Valériane Leblond, Elin Meek has compiled a stand alone volume of lists of questions based around Sports, Arts and Culture, Geography, History and Lucky Dip – topics addressed in the rigorously researched Wales on the Map to reflect the layered past and contemporary Wales – plus a comprehensive answers section. A handy key and uncluttered design should make it straightforward to navigate and use, although some may find the size of the print a challenge, in the Answers section in particular; however, that’s a small price to pay for the richness of the content. As a fun means of testing knowledge, a companion to learning or a spur to further exploration, the Wales on the Map Quiz Book is highly recommended. -- Lorna Herbert-Egan @ www.gwales.com
