 Not as good as the original Mar 21, 2009
By Carla Cruzan
I bought this for classroom use, so would prefer it not have any use other than for playing "Authors." Also, the original card game had larger type and pictures of the authors, because it did not have the numeric and card suits also printed on the cards. Larger text and pictures was more educational. With these cards, I must watch that the cards are being used for the purpose for which I purchased them--to learn the names of key authors and their major works.

As a child, I played this game with my sister, and we knew who wrote what later when we were in school! I use the card game with my high schoolers, and they have a fun day when we play.

The characters in Little Women played the Authors game. Jan 18, 2011
By P. Smith
"CMHomeschooler"
I was recently reading Little Women when I came across a passage where the characters go on a picnic and Jo takes the "Authors" game along. It made me curious as to what authors might have been on their cards, as she is one of the authors on the card game I grew up on.
I learned the names of the authors and their works by playing the game with my sister when I was a kid. Now my girls are interested in reading all of the books in the authors game. They've read quite a few, and are collecting the other "Authors" books to read in the future. I believe children today would benefit from reading these books instead of some of the "dribble" they read today. (if they read at all) At least they would benefit from learning the names and works of these great authors--maybe for future reading and book collecting.
