NEW EDITION NOW AVAILABLE!
From Classic and Sports Car - "BOOK OF THE MONTH - CANDIDATE FOR BOOK OF THE YEAR"
From Motorbooks - "Probably one of the most significant motoring books to be published in recent years and a particularly lavish production."
The above is what they said about the original Mike Hawthorn Golden Boy, now sold out after two editions.

Maybe I'm biased because Mike Hawthorn was very kind to my dad when he was a young man but I'd place this firmly in my all-time top ten of motoring books.
Yes there had been biographies of Hawthorn before - Challenge Me The Race, Champion Year, Mon Ami Mate - but this is unique in its presentation with outstanding use of images and ephemera; something not often found in driver biogs.
The plentiful illustration makes it easy to dip into; and it helps the very in-depth analysis of the infamous crash that caused Mike s death.
The original hardback is long out of print; and a smaller-format softback was issued in ; but the hardback is always to be preferred because it really benefits from its much larger size and better paper quality.

Now we have the updated and revised Softback Edit
