Regular followers of David Bird's work will know what to expect - a first-ate mixture of excellent bridge and sparkling dialogue. * * * * * * * * * * * also by David Bird BEATEN BY THE MASTERS 'As if the exploits of the Monks of St Titus had not been enough, now we are introduced to the world of bridge at Cholmeley School. The Matron, the new art master, the (82 year old!) Reverend Benson, and, of course, the irascible Headmaster, are only a few of the school's character-filled staff. Just as with the St Titus books, the professional dramatis personae is very amusing, and the pupils, well ...! Each one of David Bird's books features some great bridge, and that tradition carries on here with some good technical points, and a few humorous expeditions into the hinterlands of bridge. Excellent bridge, amusing characters, and some great dialogue make this book a very good choice for a few hours of pleasure.'
