This is a one-volume descriptive history of English literature from the beginning to the Norman Conquest. Emphasis is literary rather than linguistic. Originally published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
This book includes classic games from the past, such as piquet and bezique; national games from abroad, such as skat and preference; timeless favorites like rummy; and modern inventions and discoveries, such as ninety-nine and barbu. It has been specially compiled for three types of players: beginners, who have never touched a card before but are willing to find out what fun they have been missing; regulars, who play one or two favorites regularly and need a reference to resolve disputed points; and explorers, who enjoy experimenting with card games from different times and places.
