Book Description

December 1, 2000
Simon Barnes is the leading sports writer on horses in Britain. This is a selection of his work. Whether writing in "The Times" about the extraordinary racing operation of Sheikh Mohammed, or the achievements of the Riding for the Disabled movement, in the "Spectator" about the social nuances of the hunting debate, in "Horse and Hound" about riding his own two horses or about the appearance of that magazine in Hugh Grant's cover story in Notting Hill, Simon Barnes is a totally dedicated writer, loved by horse-people all over the country. This collection reports some of his finest work.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Rogue Lion Safaris: 'Barnes has created a new category of adventure story, doing for safaris what Dick Francis has done for horse-racing, but better written' The Times 'An exceptionally good first novel' Mail on Sunday 'This novel is just about the next best thing to going on safari oneself, such is its evocation of place' Oxford Times 'It has the smell and feel of the bush... It is sad, it is true, and it is a good story' The Spectator
