The Story of Tattersalls by Peter Willett
Tracing the history of Tattersalls - sellers of many classic thoroughbreds - this book looks at the growth of the family firm, from selling horses and hounds at Hyde Park Corner, to park paddocks, when it came to enjoy the same cachet with racing nobility as the original Five Fields.
