- Biography and Autobiography, Fiction
Graham Lord knew the Francises for nearly 30 years and in this revealing double biography he tells not only the riveting tale of Dick’s remarkable life – the horsey Welsh childhood, the triumphs as champion jump-jockey, the 1956 Grand National tragedy when he so nearly won the race on the Queen Mother’s horse Devon Loch – but also the intriguing secret story of Dick’s astonishing wife. Mary and Dick fell in love at first sight, at a cousin’s wedding, and for more than 50 years were inseparable, creating not only a triumphant working partnership but also an idyllically close marriage, with two sons, that was the envy of all who knew them.
Graham Lord’s warm, affectionate, yet sharp and perceptive biography of Dick and Mary Francis is romantic, inspiring and deeply moving – and one of the great love stories of our time.
