ON YOUR MARKS (SPORTS WRITING) (PB)

A sparkling anthology celebrating sport in all its variety: from elite rugby and football to rural games on the village green; from an exclusive golf club to the sheer pleasure of a bicycle ride. Drawn from journalism, diaries, drama, fiction and more, the extracts include Daniel Defoe on horse racing, Jane Austen on archery and Lewis Carroll on croquet. Edited and introduced by sports historian, Professor Martin Polley. New in the Macmillan Collector’s Library.
