Description

Searching for book lover gifts? Look no further than this beautifully illustrated trump card game.

Who had the most commercial success in their lifetime, Ernest Hemingway or Agatha Christie? Whose work has the most adaptations, F. Scott Fitzgerald or Franz Kafka? Who courted the most scandal, Colette or James Joyce? Pit 32 of the greatest modern writers against each other with these high-quality cards in a beautiful presentation box.

Explore modern literature's greats, from Simone de Beauvoir's feminist theory and Virginia Woolf's genre-bending experimental fiction through to the discovery of whole new worlds with JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but whose pen is the mightiest of them all?

Comparing the greatest figures of modern literature has never been more fun, but if you can't get enough of the quick-paced card game action, try The Writer's Game: Classic Authors! From Shakespeare to Bronte, Virgil to Tolstoy, who will come out on top?
