When Jackson died in 1933, at the tender age of 23, Australian cricket descended into a period of grief not experienced again until the tragic death of Phillip Hughes some 81 years later. Like Hughes, Jackson was a NSW batting prodigy revered by teammates and cricket lovers alike. Crestfallen fans flocked to his funeral, where the pallbearers included Bradman, Victor Richardson, Bill Woodfull and Bill Ponsford. When Frith's first iteration of this classic biography was published in 1974, it became the rarest of publishing phenomenon. In this new edition, Frith has revised and updated the story, adding new material gleaned during a lifelong of devotion to his subject.
