This 6-volume set, first published between 1946 and 1951, was groundbreaking at the time for its use of action photographs to illustrate sporting techniques. J. T. Hankinson was Sports Master at a boys' school and the pupils were pictured in the photographs to accompany his coaching methods. The first four books on team sports were primarily aimed at schools but contained enough instructional detail they would also have appealed to more mature players wanting to improve their game. The following two covering individual sports also had wide appeal. Today they can be viewed as a historical record of coaching style and school sport in the mid-twentieth century.

J. T. (John Trevor) Hankinson (1904-1962) was educated at Taunton School and at Christ's College, Cambridge. Before starting at Canford school in 1936 he was at Stowe school where he was a housemaster for several years and head of the medical department. He was something of a pioneer in the teaching of Biology in Public Schools, including drawing up a syllabus for School Certificate Biology which was accepted by the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board. He was the author of many books but came to a wider audience with his books on sport. He also spent time in Denmark, as coach to the Danish Cricket Association. And according to his obituary few of his friends realised, 'he was no mean conjurer and a member of the Magic Circle'!
