Book excerpt: In its early days in Victorian England croquet was a game for the wealthy but competition from other sports - most notably tennis - the onset of two world wars, and a century of social change forced the game to adapt. Modern croquet is an intricate game of strategy, played socially within clubs and competitively at national and international level. The object of the game - to guide two balls round a circuit of loops - has changed little over the years but tactically, croquet has become much more complex, elaborate and fascinating. Complete Croquet is a comprehensive guide for the aspiring and improving croquet player. It deals with the basic skills, and how to avoid and eradicate common problems, as well as providing an in-depth coverage of modern tactics. The author focuses on the building blocks of break play, examining in detail how each element works before bringing it all together. There is advice on how to repair a bad situation when everything has gone wrong, how to exploit a good situation when everything is going well, and how to regain the initiative when the opponent is storming ahead. Whether your interest is in developing an understanding of top-class, championship-level tactics, in improving your play at handicap level, or even in just playing at home and wanting to get a better understanding of the game, Complete Croquet will prove to be invaluable. Superbly illustrated with 195 colour photographs and diagrams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ... ever, when it is wished to draw the adversary away from playing the proper game, it is admissible to give a double shot as a "tice," so as to tempt him to shoot where his missing would give you the dead ball. Principle 9.-- When you are unlikely to make or continue a break with your own ball, play to lay the break for your partner. . When one or two doubtful and risky strokes would result, if successful, in a long break, it is worth while trying for it: but when, from the position of the balls, it is evident that no good break would ensue, even if those strokes were to succeed, the best play is to lay as good a break as possible for your partner; for keeping the break on your side is worth more than the chance of a point or two. Your game is to leave your partner a ball to play on, and another at his hoop, or a rush to his hoop, and a ball at his next hoop but one; or lay him a break in some other equally effective way. It is of great importance to know when to continue your own break, and when to leave off and play your partner's game. INSTRUCTIONS TO THE PLAYER WHO IS "IN," AND HAS THE BREAK. 1. Before you make your next point in your break, always provide, if possible, for your next point but one, either by sending a ball forward to help you there, or by arranging a rush to it from the point you are about to make. 2. Never leave a ball behind in the break, if it can be avoided, except for special reasons (see page 68). 3. Do not let the balls you are playing on in your break get too close together, or you will not have sufficient room to make the stop or splitting strokes you may require (see pages 69 and 74). 4. Always prefer a rush to your hoop, to a long rolling stroke to it. It is often worth while going some distance out of the...

Book excerpt: The brilliant and profound second novel from the three-times Costa prizewinner and number one bestseller Kate Atkinson. 'Vivid, richly imaginative, hilarious and frightening by turns' Observer Once it had been the great forest of Lythe. And here, in the beginning, lived the Fairfaxes, grandly, at Fairfax Manor. But over the centuries the forest had been destroyed, replaced by Streets of Trees. The Fairfaxes have dwindled too; now they live in 'Arden' at the end of Hawthorne Close and are hardly a family at all. But Isobel Fairfax, who drops into pockets of time and out again, knows about the past. She is sixteen and waiting for the return of her mother - the thin, dangerous Eliza with her scent of nicotine, Arpège and sex, whose disappearance is part of the mystery that still remains at the heart of the forest.
