The most extraordinary events ever to occur on a tennis cour include the Wimbledon final between the tea-drinking vicar and a convicted murderer, and the "Match of the Century" between the "Women s Libber" and the "Male Chauvinist Pig." There are matches played on board ship and on the wings of an airborne plane, a game played in full regimental dress, and meet the player who rated himself so highly he played an entire match while carrying someone piggy-back. The stories in this book are bizarre, fascinating, hilarious, and, most importantly, true."

A quirky collection of true stories from the stranger side of the legal system, including a dead parrot in a courtroom, a mummified murder victim and a strange case of cannibalism.
