(W. G. Grace) DARWIN, Bernard (SIGNED). W. G. GRACE. A volume in the Great Lives Series.
London: Duckworth, 1934. First Edition Hardcover Very Good
SIGNED IN THE YEAR OF PUBLICATION. BY BERNARD DARWIN IN HIS CHARACTERISTIC MANNER "W. H. C. / FROM / B. D. / MAY 1934". Very Good hardback First Edition First Printing in the original red cloth binding with mid sun spine, minimal pinholes upper joint but binding is tight. Scattered foxing
W. G (William Gilbert) Grace (1848-1915) was an amateur cricket player widely acknowledged as being among the best players of all time. He was considered an "amateur" because he was a physician by profession. Later in life he took up golf and that is where he came into close contact with Bernard Darwin, hence this biography. Quoting Darwin's introduction: "I had myself the great privilege of meeting W. G. in the alter years of his life, and the great fun of playing some games of golf with him..." "Bernard Darwin (1876-1961), grandson of the famous naturalist, is celebrated as the greatest golf writer of the twentieth century and justifiably so. It has been said that his writing established the standards for golf reporting against which all others are measured. " (Donovan-Jerris p. 161)
