Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. What can a lively, active boy do when a bad accident suddenly deprives him of the things he loves best: his friends and all the fun he used to enjoy with them-baseball, hiking, fishing? John Lane thought there was no answer to this question until he met his neighbors, the twins Pete and Paul Dailey, young chess enthusiasts who introduced him to the Royal Game.How the chessmen put an end to John's loneliness, how they bring him new friends, how he wins membership in the Chess Club of the Grinning Knight and how, because of his new interests, he finally begins to recover his health make an absorbing story for readers of ten to fourteen.Boys and girls who follow John's progress will acquire not only a thorough introduction to chess, but, also, a good deal of information about the game's long and fascinating history and the legends and lore that have grown up about it.The text is accompanied by Kurt Werth's gay, humorous drawings, and 36 clear diagrams explaining the moves, so that even a reader who has never before played chess will be able to follow with ease the exciting games that take place during the course of the story.Author Helen Weissenstein, a chess player since childhood, was born in Vienna, Austria, and was graduated as a Doctor of Law from the University of Vienna. She left her country when Hitler invaded it and went to Switzerland, from which country she later came to the United States. Two days after her arrival in New York she joined the Manhattan Chess Club and in doing so found a place where she at once felt at home. She has since won prizes in several women's championship tournaments.John and the Chess Men is Miss Weissenstein's second book for children. It was published in 1952. A young boy, bedridden, makes friends while learning to play chess. This item is printed on demand.
