Schott's Sporting, Gaming & Idling Miscellany

By Ben Schott.  An essential vade-mecum for the sportsman, gamer and idler.  No other sporting text will explain the rules of elephant polo; the perils of the Cresta Run; the intricacies of the Palio; the etiquette of kangaroo hunting or why surfing is the 'Sport of Kings' (in Hawaii).  Which other volume will inform you of the immorality of swimming in Australia; the link between snooker and nuns; the words of the Haka (and Waltzing Matilda); the myriad participants of the Wacky Races or what W. G Grace considered cheating?  Schott's Sporting, Gaming & Idling Miscellany is a book for each and everyone of us - from the most agonistic, athletic and active to the most indolent, inactive and idle.

Presented wrapped in white gloss with satin ribbon trim and gift card for your message.  Your gift also travels in a sturdy outer box to ensure a safe arrival to the lucky recipient.
