Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Croquet is a relatively modern game, lacking the historical weight that often fosters affection for older sports. Its name suggests a French origin, with the game reportedly introduced to Ireland and then England. Public matches in England date back to 1867, and the sport quickly gained popularity as a lawn game. The establishment of the All England Croquet Club led to annual championship contests at Wimbledon. In recent years, interest in croquet has surged, evidenced by the formation of new clubs and public competitions across the country, with schedules published at the start of each season to encourage participation. This book serves as a reproduction of an important historical work, utilizing advanced technology to digitally restore the original format while addressing imperfections found in aged copies. Although some flaws may remain, they are preserved intentionally to maintain the integrity of this historical text.
