Winner of The Times Sports Books of The Year 2022. A Financial times Best Sports Book of 2022. Cyclist Beryl Burton dominated her sport much as her male contemporary Eddy Merckx, with a longevity that surpasses sporting legends like Muhammad Ali and Serena Williams. Practically invincible in time trials, Burton - also known as BB - finished as Best All-Rounder for 25 years and broke the record for the '12-hour' endurance race; an achievement unrivalled to this day. She won multiple world titles, but her achievements were limited by discrimination from the cycling authorities. Yet she carried on winning, beating men and - infamously - competing against her own daughter, whilst working full-time on a Yorkshire farm and running a household. With previously unseen material and through extensive interviews with family, friends, rivals and fellow sporting giants, Jeremy Wilson peels back the layers to reveal one of the most overlooked, yet compelling characters in cycling history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ips - Profile Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44932857888919,"sku":"9781788162937","price":715.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781788162937.webp?v=1769200231"},{"product_id":"love-of-my-life-the-truth-behind-freddie-mercurys-romantic-relationships-9781529362367","title":"Love of My Life: The Truth Behind Freddie Mercury's Romantic Relationships","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Lesley-Ann Jones\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Coronet Books (GB)\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Coronet Books (GB)\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'EYEWITNESS GOLD' SUNDAY TIMES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHO - OR WHAT - WAS THE REAL LOVE OF FREDDIE MERCURY'S LIFE?

Although a huge influence on many writers since his death, and now someone with significant book sales every year, Lovecraft never managed to make a living from writing during his lifetime. Lovecraft spent much time battling various physical and mental issues, but he was able to form bonds and relationships with key people in his life, some of which influenced his thinking and his work. These included his mother, grandfather, aunt, wife and famous figures from the time including Harry Houdini and Robert E Howard; comments from many are included. Lovecraft's sensitivity comes through in his writing, and this book also contains numerous quotes from his famous fictional works.

Something unprecedented had just happened: England had won the \u003cb\u003eCricket World Cup\u003c\/b\u003e for the very first time since the tournament's inception in 1975. At the epicentre of England's historic triumph was \u003cb\u003eBen Stokes\u003c\/b\u003e, the talismanic all-rounder with an insatiable appetite for The Big Occasion. He contributed a critical 84 runs off 98 balls when England batted, a seemingly nerveless innings of discipline and maturity. Thrillingly, it was enough to tie the scores at 241 runs each, so the match reverted to a \u003cb\u003eSuper Over\u003c\/b\u003e - just six balls for each side to bat in the ultimate in sporting sudden-death. Stokes and Jos Buttler saw England to 15 runs off their over. When it was finally confirmed that Martin Guptill had been run out off the very last ball of New Zealand's Super Over with the scores level once again, England had astonishingly won on the boundary count-back, and the nation could finally breathe again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEarly evening on Sunday 25th August 2019.

In their second innings England were still 73 runs short of victory with a solitary wicket remaining. Australia were near certainties to retain the Ashes there and then. Cue one of the most amazing innings ever witnessed as Ben Stokes thrashed the Australian bowlers to all corners of the ground, in the process scoring 135 not out, driving England to a barely-believable one-wicket victory, and keeping the series very much alive.
