Publisher Description

50 YEARS OF SPORT AS SEEN BY THE CHAMPION OF ALL SPORTS WRITERS

‘This isn’t, praise be, a formal book. It is no literary exercise in balanced sentences and the painfully selected word. This is Grant Rice talking, rambling happily along, tell again in his wonderful way the wonderful stories he loved to tell.

‘They are great tales of men and deeds, told with affection and warmth and gentle humour. Yet it isn’t the stories of the great which make this a great book. It’s the way Granny himself shines through the hurrying pages, his wisdom, his kindness, his faith. He wrote of men he loved and deeds he admired and never knew how much bigger he was than his finest hero.’—Red Smith, N.Y. Herald Tribune Book Review

‘THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING is Grantland Rice as we of the Fourth Estate knew and loved him for so many years. The book is a must, especially for the male animals in every American family.’—Ed Sullivan

‘THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING is the ‘living’ Grantland Rice I knew and loved…I can’t think of a finer present to anyone who loves sport—or even loves good writing.’—Bill Cunningham, The Boston Herald

‘Folded into THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING are some of Granny’s verses. About sports and war and loved ones. About all the things that were dear to his great heart. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for your friends. Buy it for your enemies, the bums, who on reading it will learn, maybe for the first time, what it means to be a right guy.’—Frank Graham, N.Y. Journal American

‘Rice was the champion writer and the champion of sports writers. He ranked at the top of his profession for half a century and THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING is his final contribution to the sports literature of his native land.’—Harry Salsinger, Detroit (Mich.) News
