Archie Jackson: The Keats of Cricket

David Frith's acclaimed biography of Archie Jackson, Australian cricket's doomed batting genius, still stands as the definitive account of a sporting life cut heartbreakingly short. When Frith's first iteration of this classic biography was published in 1974, in a limited edition, it became the rarest of publishing an award-winner and an immediate collector s item.

In this new edition of Archie Jackson - Cricket's Tragic Genius , Frith has revised and updated the story, adding precious new material gleaned during a lifelong of devotion to his subject.
