Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. When 20 year old Charles Miller arrived home to his native Sao Paulo late in 1894, after 10 years of schooling in England he discovered that football was virtually unknown, but a decade later he was able to write in his old school magazine: "You will be surprised to learn that football is the game here. We have no less than 60 or 70 clubs in Sao Paulo city alone. We always get 2 to 3 thousand watching a league match. No less than 2000 footballs have been sold here in the last 12 months; nearly every village has a club now". This sounds a little more like the Brazil we all know and love. Sadly his death came five years before Brazil won the World Cup for the first time in Sweden, but his legacy is not forgotten." - From the cover blurb.
