Bridge and the Romantics [Smith]

This book to be written by Percey Shelley will feature the most dazzling and difficult deals ever published - it will be bridge of the gods.

But before Shelley leaves on his ill-fated trip to Livorno, he only has time to send his publisher a short ‘Declarer Play Problems’ pamphlet.

Renowned bridge author Nick Smith, however, has unearthed a series of to-date unpublished episodes in the great poet’s life, which demonstrate where the deals first arose, and what actually happened at the table in each case. Historically accurate and beautifully illustrated, this is a book for fans of classic literature as well as bridge players.
