The best introduction to Real Tennis (and the most affordable!) November 14, 2007
Frederika Adam (Oxford, England)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
'Real' Tennis, 'Court' Tennis or 'Jeu de Paume' - Real Tennis is the original racquet sport developed in the 15th century in Europe and has been played by monarchs (Henry VIII and Francis I), gambled on by artists (Caravaggio) and referred to in works by famous writers (Shakespeare and Marlowe). Today, it is a thriving cult sport played by 10,000 people in the UK, (Ireland), France, (Holland), USA and Australia. Real Tennis players caught trying to explain what this fantastic yet complex sport is to their friends and colleagues are extremely grateful to Kathryn McNicoll, an enthusiastic player herself and sister of a World Champion, for writing a concise, informative and entertaining introduction on Real Tennis. With lots of photos and packed with useful facts including a list of all the current acitve courts, this short book is a perfect gift for every racquet/ball player to learn more about Real Tennis (and hopefully inspire them to build a court too!) In addition, there is an interesting chapter on other European Ball games and a fun chapter on notable characters and great players past and present. Highly recommended and especially at such a great price.
