Fun & Games with Alistair Cooke (On Sport and Other Amusements)

Alistair Cooke, whom many knew as the former host of Masterpiece Theatre, was also one of the world’s best journalists. Here he brings his unique blend of wit, curiosity, and insight to bear on the world of sports and entertainment.

He writes with equal verve on golf (his favorite sport), tennis, boxing, sailing, and horse racing. And his selections on the movies, jazz, and the theater are just as delightful. Whether writing on George Gershwin or Arnold Palmer, Muhammad Ali or Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin or Jack Nicklaus, Duke Ellington or Sugar Ray Robinson, the Masters golf tournament or Wimbledon, the Kentucky Derby or “How the Russians Invented Baseball,” Alistair Cooke is as charming as he is informative.
