Publisher's Synopsis
A light-hearted but insightful look at a game whose origins can be traced back over 5000 years, although lawn bowls as we know it today is barely 300 years old - its evolution to its present form was dependent on Edwin Beard Budding's invention of the lawnmower in 1830. The author, Tony Beddard, is a former lighthouse keeper whose earlier works (Last Keeper's Lighthouse Stories and Lighthouse Stories: Keeper Is No More) have received much acclaim. In his retirement, Tony devotes as much time as possible to bowls, and bowlers young and old alike will find themselves thinking "How true, how true ..." as they read the many anecdotes that Tony recounts here.
