A blast from the past
My parents bought me the first edition of this book back in the 70s after Shakuntala Devi appeared on the BBC's Blue Peter. I still must have it somewhere stored in a box. So after maybe 50 years, a successful career and two young kids I bought this reprint. It's as fresh as the day I first got my hands on it in the 70s. Delightfully written and a superb introduction to numbers for children and anyone else who is interested.

A conseiller aux matheux curieux.
J'adore les maths et en particulier le calcul mental excellent pour les neurones. Cet ouvrage permet de le renforcer par des moyens mnémotechniques.

Applied some techniques after the first couple of chapters!
This is a fun read so far - I've been able to apply some estimation techniques after just the first few pages. This is a fun way to get more efficient at figuring. Her own joy for numbers and mental number manipulation techniques comes shining through. I had to wait a long time for the book to come into stock... it was worth the wait.
