Enjoying a celebrity shared by perhaps only Gladstone and Queen
Victoria of his contemporaries, W.G. Grace was the world's first
sporting superstar. Researched in archives from Grimsby to
Australia, and drawing on diaries, letters, and access to the
cricketer's own library, this biography offers a radical analysis
of Grace's career. It also reviews the more controversial aspects
of his conduct, including verbal and physical altercations both on
and off the field, and his kidnapping of an Australian cricketer
from Lord's. Discussion of his private life encompasses his
childhood, his marriage, his children, his grief at the death of a
daughter and later his eldest son, and his career as a doctor. The
book includes an extensive statistical survey by Bill Frindall.
