Quidditch gets the treatment of a serious sports history here, complete with its supposed origins and the slow development of its rules.
J. K. Rowling wrote it under the invented byline of Kennilworthy Whisp, and the humour comes from how straight the writing plays the material: a fictional game described in the tone of a reference shelf. Chapters trace the sport's early forms, its equipment and its notable teams. The Bloomsbury Children's Books paperback runs to 128 pages, which makes it a quick read beside the seven novels it accompanies.
Worth knowing:
• A mock sports history attributed to Kennilworthy Whisp
• Covers the game's origins, equipment and notable teams
• A 128-page paperback from Bloomsbury Children's Books
• Reads as a companion piece rather than part of the main story
Fans of the wizarding world and readers who enjoy invented history can order this Bloomsbury Children's Books title from Boipoka.
