Robert Charles Bell
:''For the Scottish engraver see Robert Charles Bell (engraver).''
Robert Charles Bell (1917–2002) was the author of several books on board games, most importantly ''Board and Table Games 1 & 2'' (reprinted as ''Board and Table Games from Many Civilizations''). This work won the Premier Award of the Doctors' Hobbies Exhibition, London. He was instrumental in popularizing traditional games,〔Finkel 2007, p v.〕 and is acknowledged as one of 11 "principal sources" in David Parlett's ''Oxford History of Board Games''.〔Parlett 1999, pp xii-xiii.〕
==Life==
He was born 1917 in Sudbury, Ontario; came to England in 1928; and was educated at Haileybury College, Hertfordshire and St Bartholomew's Hospital by 1941. He became a consultant plastic surgeon and was on the editorial board of the British Journal of Plastic Surgery. Outside medicine, Bell was a polymath who became an international authority on board games and wrote books for collectors on Tyneside Pottery and Trade Tokens. His first work on games was ''Board and Table Games'' (1960), and he later produced many articles on coin collecting for World Coins.〔Bell 1984, back cover.〕
He died in 2002. As of 2007, much of his extensive collection of games and game paraphernalia resides at the University of Durham.〔Finkel 2007, p v.〕
