Publisher's Synopsis
This latest full colour book by Murray is a visual feast, and features profiles of players from the Golden Years of Aussie tennis. It is illustrated in both caricature and formal mode with informative bios of individual players. The great players are depicted, from Norman Brookes of 1905 vintage, stars of the 1920s and 1930s: Crawford, Quist, Bromwich and many others. In the post war era, we have other greats: Sedgman, Rosewall, Hoad. Laver, Newcombe and Roche, Grand Slam winners and Davis Cup stalwarts. Our two lady champions are also featured, Margaret Court and Evonne Goolagong, presenting an era when Australia maintained a worthy place in international tennis.
