A history of Eton Fives

The first and only proper history of the thriving game of Eton Fives - played nowadays by both sexes in clubs throughout Britain and in places such as Australia, America, Nigeria and other African countries.

Dale Vargas, a master at Harrow, has combined with Peter Knowles to cover the progress of the game since the early 19th century (although the first time the rules were actually written down was not until 1877).

With over 200 illustrations plus profiles and articles, the authors have ensured that their work is both definitive and entertaining
