...Sporting Events unite people & can have as much a political as a competitive motivation. This is certainly true of the English Olympick games, first played in 1612 on a small hill in the Cotswolds. These games stood as a testament to the ordinary people of England in their fight against the Puritan movement & ran almost continuously for more than two hundred years. Celia Haddon vivdly captures the intensity & enthusiasm of those involved & how the camaraderie of sporting competition united an entire region at a time when division within England was gathering momentum & the seeds of civil war were being sown. Revived in the 1960s, the games are still immensely popular today & draw thousands to the original Dover Hill every year.
