Well-known Australian author of cricket and football books, Ken Piesse’s passion for these sports is very evident in his 88th and latest book ‘Living the Dream’, which is crammed with experiences and anecdotes of his sporting life. As he engaged with so many Australian sporting superstars and heroes, this book is packed with first-hand interviews.

In this his latest book, which spans his remarkable 60-year career covering his favourite sports, he gives the reader an insight into the character of well-known cricketers and footballers; information which rarely appeared in the news. The stories, which he shares relate not only to Australian household names like Shane Warne, Ron Barassi, Ian Chappell and Don Bradman but also to stars from other cricketing nations, like Brian Lara and Viv Richards.

His multifaceted career in sports; journalist, commentator, after dinner speaker and bookseller, come to life in ‘Living the Dream’. He is a man with drive, ambition and some good fortune: no wonder it resulted in Ken Piesse being awarded an array of multi-media awards.

Readers will find the photos and collections at the end of the book both interesting and informative; a must read book for cricket lovers.
