Critics Review
“Trying to recount the careers of 50 ‘immortals’ from the world of jump racing in one go is an ambitious undertaking, but author Oli Hein comes up trumps with a book that is not only effortless to consume but also takes the reader on an informative journey through the narrative of National Hunt. Immortals does a fine job of bringing all the magic back to life.”
