A Game of Groans

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

If you can’t get enough of the Starks, Lannisters, dragons, battles, and romance, check out the clever parody by George R. R. Washington called A Game of Groans. Be prepared to laugh and groan out loud at the humour you’ll encounter on every page. This makes a great gift for fans of the original book and/or show. 
 
Adults will really enjoy this funny take on an already excellent fantasy novel.

Irreverent ... sure to give fans a few laughs.

Quirky and fun, this book has humour as well as a cracking concept. Four stars

‘There was a bloodied knife on Allbran’s bed. Lady Gateway Barker knew what she had to do; what all the royals in Summerseve did when somebody tried to kill a member of their family: gather up a bunch of people and horses, and go from one place to another.’ 
 
This is the hilarious parody of the George R. R. Martin bestseller A Game of Thrones.

In the land of the Eight (or was it Six?) Kingdoms – where seasons can last decades and comparisons to Tolkien a lifetime – trouble is brewing. For the Barkers of Summerseve, times are about to get as tough as the pronunciation of ‘Daenerys Targaryen’. 
 
From this world of outdoor fornication with horse-people (and indoor fornication with blood relatives) comes an epic story of novella proportions as the Barkers, their BFFs, and their enemies strive to star in that funniest of concepts: a parody of George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones.
