Book Description

ROBINSON, W. Heath (William Heath), 1872-1944 : TEMPEST : “AN UPROARIOUSLY FUNNY FAMILY GAME.” Thomas De La Rue & Co., London no date but circa 1930. Contained in original box in excellent condition, Very Good Plus. The set comprises 54 cards designed by Robinson, divided into nine sets of winds and temperaments (Sunny, Raging, Blustering, etc.), each with six cards (Ferocious Feminist, Howling Highbrow, Vile Vulgarian, etc). The game is played by blowing a weathervane spinner in the shape of a fox. “Blow at the Vane, With Might and Main, Your Temper True, It Shows to You”. Complete with rules and all cards. The cards are not creased or grubby, the rules are foxed but complete, and the box very sound with some rubbing only. A very nice set.
