Ich habe lange überlegt, was ich zum Stichpunkt "British Sports" für unsere Challenge lesen könnte, aber natürlich komme ich nicht an dem wohl bedeutendsten britischen Sport vorbei, Quidditch...

Kennilworthy Whisp: Quidditch Through the Ages (Sachbuch/ Sport, 5*)

Quote:
Did you know that: there are 700 ways of committing a foul in Quidditch? The game first began to evolve on Queerditch Marsh? What Bumphing is? That Puddlemere United is oldest team in the Britain and Ireland league? (Founded 1163.) All this information and much more could be yours once you have read this book: this is all you could ever need to know about the history, the rules - and the breaking of the rules - of the noble wizarding sport of Quidditch.
Bloomsbury

Dieses großartige Standardwerk hat mir große Freude bereitet. Schade, dass dieser Sport nicht auch hier diese Bedeutung erlangt hat, die er verdient. Kennilworthy Whisp war mir natürlich vorher schon ein Begriff, wer kennt ihn nicht diesen herausragenden Experten, der uns schon mit anderen Werken über Quidditch etwa "The Wonder of Wigtown Wanderers" erfreut hat. Er soll ja auch eine ganz beachtliche Sammlung von historischen Rennbesen haben, wie man munkelt.
