Synopsis
Witty, nostalgic fiction about a legendary family of cricketers and the pull of big name expectations.

- family history and the weight of a sporting legacy
- school life, friendships, and the heat of athletic competition
- humor, pride, and the bonds that hold brothers together
- rivalries, schemes, and the early lessons of loyalty and responsibility

Présentation de l'éditeur
Granby was founded, and the only grievance that his family had against this famous school was that it did not owe its foundation to a Rumbold. King was the name of the man who did found Granbv, and if the Rumbolds could have traced descent from him they might have been more inclined to reverence his pious memory As it was, they were disposed to think that Mr. King whose portrait hangs in the great Granby library was a man who had obtained an honour which ought in justice to have belonged to them. Even Joe sfather, who liked to spend idle moments in deploring the disrespectful way in which schoolboys spoke of their elders and betters, set his sons a very bad example by referring to Mr. King as that silly-looking old buffer who had the luck to stumble on a good thing, but had not sense enough to appreciate it.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This is a tale of brothers, their camaraderie, and their achievements in various fields. The Rumbold family is a cricketing dynasty, and all the five brothers who preceded Joe, the youngest, to Granby, a prestigious boarding school, have been outstanding sportsmen and some even captained the school team. Joe, by contrast, enjoys reading and writing; he is not adept at sports but has a keen intellect. The author humorously narrates Joe's attempts to live up to the family sporting legacy and his experiences and relationships at the boarding school. Joe's journey of self-discovery and acceptance forms the core of the book, demonstrating that distinction and worthiness can be found in diverse talents and pursuits, not just athleticism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
