I bought this book for my Dad for Christmas, but have dipped into it myself a lot already. It is very readable, with lots of amusing anecdotes, while at the same time it has some genuinely interesting themes about the invention of sport and the British psyche. I'd heartily recommend it to anyone with a love of sport, an interest in social commentary, or who just wants to mug up on some trivia for pub quizes.
