A review by kir
Fox Tossing, Octopus Wrestling and Other Forgotten Sports by Edward Brooke-Hitching

2.0

Whilst the author does talk in the introduction about how the early idea of sport was quite linked to hunting, most of the sports in this book are some form of animal torture/murder. The sections are often quite brief as well, so I didn't always feel like I got the information I wanted.
I think my favourite sports, the ones I'd like to do, from those described were flyting and jingling.
