A proposito di questo titolo
 Dive into the whimsical world of Mr. Sponges Sporting Tour, a charming comic satire that pokes fun at the fox-hunting elite of mid-19th Century England. With a keen eye for humor, Surtees crafts unforgettable characters and witty dialogue, reminiscent of the later works of Dickens, who may have drawn inspiration from Surtees style. Follow the misadventures of Soapy Sponge, a cunning Victorian charmer and confidence trickster, as he navigates the lavish homes of southern England, indulging in the fox-hunting scene and leaving a trail of laughter in his wake. - Summary by Kevin Green

    Art of Badminton by George Alan Thomas.

    An instructional guide to the sport of badminton, presented by a 21-time All-England champion! Also a two-time British chess champion, his strategic acumen shines through both in his badminton and tennis tactics. One of my favourite quotes from the book perfectly captures his mindset: "I prefer to expect the best stroke my opponent has any reasonable chance of making; that is, the stroke which is most likely to cause me trouble."
