David Frith' s acclaimed biography of Archie Jackson, Australian cricket' s doomed batting genius, still stands as the definitive account of a sporting life cut heartbreakingly short. When Frith' s first iteration of this classic biography was published in 1974, in a limited edition, it became the rarest of publishing phenomenon: an award-winner and an immediate collector' s item. In its foreword, England' s legendary fast bowler, Harold Larwood, wrote of Archie Jackson: "You just had to find a place in your heart for a fellow like him. " In this new edition, Archie Jackson - Cricket' s Tragic Genius, Frith has revised and updated the story, adding precious new material gleaned during a lifelong of devotion to his subject.
David Frith is an award-winning cricket historian and writer, and the author of 35 books on the game. Born in London, he emigrated to Australia in 1949, but found fame upon his return to England, where he took up the editorship of The Cricketer. Between 1979 and 1996, he was the founding editor of Wisden Cricket Monthly, an award-winning cricket magazine with a legion of admirers around the world. He lives in Guildford, Surrey.
