In My Story for the first time Lewis opens up about his stunning debut season in grand prix racing as well as his dad Anthony his home life & his early years. The only book with the real story as told by Lewis. In his first season in F1 Lewis Hamilton thrilled the world of motor racing by finishing on the podium in his first nine consecutive races
- the first driver to do so in the sports 57-year history
- & drove to victories in Canada America Hungary & Japan. But bare statistics alone do scant justice to the amazing impact Lewis Hamilton has had on the sporting landscape. My Story gives the real account from Lewis himself as he sets the record straight about his colourful life on & off the track. Given a grounded upbringing by his dedicated father in unremarkable Stevenage Lewis tells about how he first tried out go-karting while on a cut-price family holiday in Ibiza. In his book he gives the real version of events at a motor sport dinner where as a nine-year-old wearing a borrowed suit he approached McLaren team boss Ron Dennis with the immortal words that were to change his life forever. He rose rapidly through the Junior & Formula ranks dominating every series with his raw speed & canny race craft. Here Lewis candidly recalls those key moments that shaped his career & went some way towards compensating for the sacrifices made by his father Anthony in getting his son to the top. Lewis also charts how he got into the sport & was signed up by Ron Dennis what motivates him who are his closest friends how he copes with the constant travelling & the physical & mental challenges of driving a state-of-the-art Formula 1 car. He looks back in detail at the 2007 World Championship
- the race wins the frightening crash in Germany his intense rivalry with team-mate Fernando Alonso his special relationship with Ron Dennis & the furore over the Ferrari allegations
- right up to the dramatic last race of the season in Brazil.

In the nail-biting Brazilian Grand Prix of November 2008 Lewis Hamilton clinched his position as the youngest-ever winner of the Formula One World Championship. He is a truly remarkable sporting figure who from his humble upbringing on a council estate in Stevenage has gone on to dominate & revolutionise the world of motor racing. But Hamiltons rise through the motor racing ranks from karting to the hotly contested F3 Superprix & onto the F1 podium has not been straightforward. Lewis racing career began aged just six when his father holding down three jobs to support his sons blossoming success bought him his first go-kart. The breakthrough came when a ten-year-old Lewis met McLaren boss Ron Dennis at an awards ceremony. Lewis told him Im going to race for you one day... Im going to race for McLaren. Sure enough two years later he was signed to McLarens development programme. ...

Lewis Mad Dog Moody has been a familiar face in English rugby for fifteen successful & at times painful years. The former Leicester & now Bath flanker has seen & done it all in a sport that has changed beyond recognition from his first forays into the sport to the huge spectacle that rugby & especially test match rugby has become. Known for his near-suicidal fashion of playing the game Moody has achieved as much as anyone in the history of the sport from league cup & European honours with an iconic Leicester Tigers team alongside the likes of Martin Johnson & Neil Back to a 2003 World Cup winners medal & an MBE when still a young man. A great deal of heartbreak would follow
- pain illness self-doubt & dark days in the four years before the next World Cup campaign that saw Moody & England fall in the 2007 final but he re-emerged to finally captain his country to a third World Cup campaign in 2011. Mad Dog
- An Englishman is the story warts & all of one of the most-loved & respected British sporting figures; a story that allows the reader into the inner sanctum of a top rugby stars life from the early days of student & rugby dressing room mayhem to the latter years of dedication to the cause & utter professionalism against all odds. You may think some of Lewis Moodys adventures are well-known. You would be wrong. In this searingly honest autobiography the original Mad Dog lays himself bare & along the way takes you on an incredible journey that will make you laugh cry & understand what it takes to construct a career as successful as Lewis Moodys.

Lewis Moody has seen & done it all in a glittering career that has seen him win the 2003 World Cup under Martin Johnson's captaincy lose in the final of the 2007 World Cup after the most shambolic passage & now lead England under Johnson's management in the 2011 World Cup. Moody has not only been an ever-present in the England team for the past decade
- a team that has featured some of the most iconic & interesting figures in British sport such as Jonny Wilkinson Lawrence Dallaglio & Jason Robinson
- but also until his shock move to Bath last summer he was a key part of the all-conquering Leicester Tigers team that became champions of England six times & of Europe twice. Moody does not just explore the incredible highs of which there are many but also the equally incredible lows. There was the bullying at school the time as a child when he was so near to death that the doctors advised his parents to prepare for the worst & later the many occasions when he wanted to walk away from a sport that has produced so much success when the injuries were mounting up & becoming so serious that Moody felt he had had enough. The end result is at times a painfully funny & at other times painfully sad story of sporting triumph achieved only after leaping major obstacles along the way.

During the years between 1890 & 1930 Lewisham was a byword for solid comfort & respectability. However this was a time of rapid change when the wealthy merchants who had dominated Victorian Lewisham were moving further from their workplaces in london & the streets were being colonised by thousands of lower middle class settlers. The commercial clerk was the characteristic denizen of early twentieth-century Lewisham. These new inhabitants were great lovers of postcards & most of the pictures presented here more than two hundred in total & taken from the huge number of them published during that classic period. Very few have appeared in book form before. There are photographs of Blackheath (both the Lewisham & Greenwich parts) Lee central Lewisham Hither Green Ladywell Crofton Park Catford Bellingham Southend Village & Grove Park. Most of the sections can form the basis for an interesting historical & architectural walk. But hurry! One of the old Lewisham buildinhs illustrated here has probably been demolished while you have been reading this! ...
