You Are The Hero An Interactive History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks

<p><em>Fighting Fantasy</em> gamebooks ¿ the publishing phenomenon of the 1980s ¿ has sold over 20 million books worldwide, in over 30 languages. But when Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone sat down to write the original <em>Fighting Fantasy</em> gamebook, <em>The Warlock of Firetop Mountain</em>, they could not have predicted that this one, simple adventure would go on to spawn over 100 titles, let alone begin to guess at the impact it would have on a generation of children growing up in the 80s.</p><p>Part history, part celebration, <em>YOU ARE THE HERO</em> chronicles four decades of the Fighting Fantasy phenomenon. Written by Jonathan Green (author of eight <em>Fighting Fantasy</em> gamebooks), this mighty tome will appeal to anyone who ever whiled away a washed-out summer holiday with only two dice, a pencil, and an eraser for company.</p>
