Summary

nother outrageous bet sends Tony Hawks on a travel adventure in an attempt to beat the members of the Moldovan soccer team at tennis. During this hilarious journey, he is taken in by gypsies, narrowly escapes a kidnapping attempt, and smuggles his way onto the Moldovan National Team train. And with the loser of the bet agreeing to strip naked and sing the Moldovan national anthem, this book is just too good to resist.

Author Biography

Tony Hawks is a London-based writer and comedian who makes regular appearances on British TV and radio. Playing the Moldovans at Tennis is his second book, and if you have not already done so, he strongly urges you to buy his first book Round Ireland With a Fridge, a surreal adventure prompted by a £100 bet. Unlike most authors, Tony has singularly failed to settle down and live in the country with a wife and four children. This, however, is his ambition.

Table of Contents

"Hawks's comedic talent comes across well in the written form...he has a breezy, witty style that makes the book extremely enjoyable...Hawks is not only a crazy comic but a keen observer of the human experience." - The San Francisco Chronicle

"This is an extremely entertaining book...A real treat for fans of the weird, the silly, and the out-of-left-field." - Booklist (starred review)

"[Hawks's] account of his travels to Moldova, Transnistria, Northern Ireland, and Israel to track down those worthy opponents may remind some readers of Bill Bryson, except that Hawks is genuinely funny and doesn't have to reach to get a laugh." - Kirkus Reviews
