A delightful tennis classic by a 7-time Wimbledon singles champion. Discover what tennis was like for the women who excelled and played competitively back at the close of the Victorian age, when many felt women would be damaged by strenuous exercise. You'll get a kick out of the vintage photos. (How could they play dressed like that?) Though this blast from the past primarily interests women and those curious about the history of tennis, Dolly also gives solid playing advice and features a chapter in which the top players of the day tell about their most memorable matches. The other six chapters are

• Athletics for Girls
• Practice and How to Improve
• Match and Tournament Play
• Rackets, Courts, Dress, and Training
• Some Personal Reminiscences.

This well-put-together eBook in Adobe PDF format supports high-resolution printing. Its many photos have been edited to reduce the effects of age. It comes in two editions.
