Mike Hawthorn Golden Boy Book

The life and death of Britain’s First World Champion driver,

By Tony Bailey and Paul Skilleter Published by PJ Publishing 2008

Besides being Britain's first World Champion driver,

John Michael Hawthorn was one of its most talented

and colourful sportsmen ever. This large, truly comprehensive

book, as well as recording Hawthorn's racing career, goes

further than any previous publication in looking at his childhood,

family and friends and using the recollections of those who knew

and worked with him to provide a fully rounded portrait of the man.

Completing the work are more than 1,000 photos, paintings and

specially commissioned illustrations.

By any criteria, this is a book of the highest merit.
