Tommy Atherstone, last of the "Knights of Rookhurst", isn't quite old enough to enlist for the Great War but persuades his strangely reluctant father to - who then goes missing, pitching Tommy into No Mans Land and the Castle of Time. His stop/go affair with his feisty Anglo-Indian girlfriend Ruth Rani Westall takes place against a background of civil unrest, the Russian Revolution and new ways of thought coming back to Britain from the Empire. Meanwhile, his adventures with the wild Loveless Brothers, the eccentric Witch of Boughton - a 'lady with a past' - and, finally, the Unknown Soldier, a damaged survivor of the war, are decisive in his overcoming of 'Great Big Nothing' and his getting of wisdom (and maybe even the girl). A philosophical novel for those who dare.

In this first comprehensive and balanced account of Boycott’s life – fully updated to include his battle against cancer – award-winning author Leo McKinstry lifts the lid on one of cricket’s great enigmatic characters.

Why was he so unpopular in his early career for Yorkshire? And what is the real truth about the relationships that soured his private world? From his upbringing as a miner’s son in a Yorkshire village, through highlights like his hundredth century at Headingley against Australia, to the low points such as the damaging court case in France, this warts-and-all account of his life makes for captivating reading.
