Everyone has heard of Wimbledon but how many people know that the game of lawn tennis was invented in the late 19th century and was at first called Sphairistike? This elegant little book, written by publisher Cameron Brown, a former resident of Wimbledon for over 35 years, is packed with facts, figures, records and statistics and it's fun! It covers the history of the game from handball in medieval French monastaries,'Real Tennis' at the court of Henry VIII to the development of the modern championships with statistics up to and including 2011.
