Notes: |
What a grand couple they were - Sir Norman and Dame Mabel Brookes! Dame Mabel accompanied her husband, former twice Wimbledon Singles Champion and Davis Cup competitor on the Lawn Tennis circuit and was for 33 years President of the Queen Victoria Hospital Melbourne. He was twice Wimbledon Singles Champion; she was the popular hostess with family ties to Napoleon on St Helena and early settlers on the Mornington Peninsula. This book, with its 67 illustrations, brings the crowded galleries of her memory brilliantly to life.
