1923: The Mystery of Lot 212 and a Tour de France Obsession (no spoilers)

[Regular.Cyclist]

Spent a very interesting hour of so listening to Ned Boulting discuss the background to him buying an old film reel at auction and the path if led him down looking in and around the 1924 TdF.

The actual film from the reel can be found on Youtube.

Now very much looking forward to reading the book itself.

Anyone already read it?

I've not read the book, but went to the performance of it on Sunday - it was very enjoyable and interesting.

I thought it was a very good read.
I like his style of writing. His other books are also worth reading.

I finished it last week💪
A great read: veered off down many historical alleyways, fascinating👍
Then I went to his show last week in Loughborough - superb use of so many props to tell the story, it was very good.
Obviously a lot more detail in the book.
Highly recommended 😎
