Book excerpt: "Wales and its Boxers charts the emergence on a world stage of a nation of fighters, from bareknuckle mountain fighting to title fights watched by audiences around the world." "The identification of sport and society has always been a central concern in Wales. In a series of fascinating essays, Wales and its Boxers traces the way in which great fighters have shaped and then reflected a national consciousness over decades, bringing the discussion up to date as present and now-emerging generations of fighters carry forward a clearly undiminished enthusiasm for the sport in Wales - led inevitably by Joe Calzaghe, perhaps the best British boxer of the modern era." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: Black and White: The Birth of Modern Boxing is the definitive history of the early years of transatlantic pugilism. It reveals the poisonous racism disfiguring the sport and the black boxers fighting an uphill struggle for equality. It lays bare ugly attempts by authorities to stifle or ban a sport that millions flocked to see, and exposes the unethical actions of distinguished figures such as Lord Lonsdale and Sir Winston Churchill. Black and White brings to life some of the greatest fights in history as the narrative charts boxing's growth from underground sleaze to fashionable spectacle. Along the way we hear the stories of the great champions of the era including Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Jimmy Wilde and Ted 'Kid' Lewis. The book culminates in the 'Fight of the Century', where a gallant European and an unpopular American battled for supremacy as the world looked on with trepidation.

Book excerpt: "A fascinating account of a largely forgotten culture.""This debut novel is so absorbing I read it in two sittings!""I loved it from beginning to end.""Wilde created a wonderfully immersive world which has made me want to revisit Holy Island but as a fan of the book - to see Clara's story for myself." (Reader reviews)Island life is hard... leaving is harder.In 1895, a Northumbrian island welcomes two new residents. Clara and Jimmy are born on the same night, to families poles apart. Clara is an islander through and through; content to live among the rhythms and barren beauty of Holy Island. Jimmy's future is set in stone; fishing with the father he despises on the family boat. When tragedy forces them from their island and each other, they join the herring season in a bid to survive. Jimmy strikes out for Seahouses, where he joins a Scots herring crew. From Seahouses he can still see the island, his father too close for comfort. The crew's departure for Lowestoft brings welcome relief. Clara is sent to North Shields, to live with her wealthy, estranged grandparents. A chance encounter with a group of herring girls offers her an escape from the grief filled luxury of her grandparents' home. 1913 is a record-breaking year, but as Clara and Jimmy chase shoals of silver darlings to Lowestoft, their paths are dogged by war, injury and misunderstandings.Set adrift from all they know; will they ever find each other? And will they ever find their way home?"I was whisked away to Lindisfarne and felt so invested in the characters that LK Wilde created. For those who love a comfort read that transports you to another time and place then this is the book for you. I was left wanting more and cannot wait for the next book!""I loved this book, and devoured it over a weekend as I couldn't put it down!

Download or read book Queenie of Norwich written by Lk Wilde and published by . This book was released on 2022-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You're Nellie Westrop and don't you forget it. We'll see each other again one day, but until we do, take good care of yourself. Live a good life. Now go, my love." From the author of Silver Darlings comes LK Wilde's captivating portrayal of the life of Queenie Read. Heart warming and breaking in equal measure, Queenie of Norwich is perfect for fans of The Foundling, Where the Crawdads Sing, and The Smallest Man. People say you get one life, but I've lived three. I was born Ellen Hardy in 1900, dragged up in Queen Caroline's Yard, Norwich. There was nothing royal about our yard, and Mum was no queen. At six years old Mum sold me. I became Nellie Westrop, roaming the country in a showman's wagon, learning the art of the fair. And I've been the infamous Queenie of Norwich, moving up in the world by any means, legal or not. I've been heart broken, abandoned, bought and sold, but I've never, ever given up. After all, it's not where you start that's important, but where you end up. Based on a true story, Queenie of Norwich is the compelling tale of one remarkable girl's journey to womanhood. Spanning the first half of the 20th century, Queenie's story is one of heartbreak and triumph, love and loss and the power of family. It is a story of redemption, and how, with grit and determination, anything is possible.
