White hot
£12.99When England lifted the T20 World Cup in November 2022, they became the first ever men’s team to be One-Day International and T20 world champions simultaneously. In English sport, triumphs aren’t just rare – they also tend to be followed by a collapse. England’s white-ball cricket side was different: a team that followed scaling the summit by doing so again. They became, as Australia’s captain put it, ‘the benchmark’ for the rest of the world. ‘White Hot’ tells the full story of how England built one of the most extraordinary sides ever seen in limited-overs cricket.

Wimbledon
£22.00Sue Barker first walked through those famous SW19 gates aged 13 in 1969, to play in the National Schools event. She knelt down and picked some blades of grass, wrapped them up in a tissue and took them home. Her own bit of Wimbledon. What Sue didn’t know then, was that every year for the next half century, she would be back in some capacity. As a junior, aged 15, as a semi-finalist and Grand-Slam winner ranked No 3 in the world, and as a broadcaster leading the BBC coverage for 30 years. And now she returns as a storyteller. Wimbledon has a magic that draws people in, players and fans. It respects tradition, but embraces the future and stays relevant. Sue goes in search of what sets this place apart. She talks to the greats of tennis, her former mentors, contemporaries on the circuit, friends and colleagues, and they tell their stories of their own triumphs and disasters.

Echoing greens
£25.00The importance of cricket to England has been immortalised in the art and literature of a thousand years. For countless artists and writers across the centuries, the culture and aesthetics of cricket – white-clad players, the crack of bat on ball, booming appeals, admiring applause, figures running up to bowl, batsmen leaning, waiting, swinging the blade – have been as essential to the English landscape as the hills and meadows immortalised by Gainsborough, Constable and Turner. ‘Echoing Greens’ is a fascinating and thoughtful exploration of the bond between cricket and the English imagination.

Va-va-voom
£20.00In this fascinating and exhaustively researched book, the first of its kind in the English language, Tom Williams brings to life French football’s chequered coming of age over the last 40 years. He details how the starry-eyed romanticism that characterised the national team in the early 1980s gave way to an Italian-style pragmatism that would lead Les Bleus to the summit of the international game in the late 1990s and examines how a succession of star-studded club sides grappled with the thorny (and distinctly un-French) notion of how to win. He delves into French football’s rich history and explains the myriad ways – tactical, technical and cultural – in which France has shaped the game’s evolution around the world. Featuring exclusive interviews with great figures of the French game, this is a book no football fan will want to miss.
