David Parlett says on his homepage: "I specialise in indoor games (board games, card games, word games, etc) as a freelance inventor, writer and consultant. Sometimes I even get round to playing them. My books include The Penguin Encyclopedia of Card Games, Teach Yourself Card Games, the Oxford History of Board Games, and the Oxford History of Card Games. My best-known board game is Hare & Tortoise. It's been published in a dozen different languages and has sold about 2 million copies since it first appeared in 1974.
I give talks and run workshops on the history, theory and appreciation of games, am a consultant on games terminology to the Oxford English Dictionary, and advise on the staging of games in period films and TV productions."
