Start of Play: The Curious Origins of Our Favourite Sports
Used Book in Good Condition
Such ball games as football, rugby, cricket, tennis and golf, were often created by moments of accident and coincidence, rather than built by a grand design. This book traces their development throughout the centuries from ancient pastimes to the games we know today. The book covers the rules, the early attempts at organizing competitions, their movement abroad on to a world stage, and also reveals some of the personalities who shaped each sport.
