Karl alive and well at Xavier
Teenage prodigy Karl Schneider was destined for stardom when selected ahead of a young Don Bradman for Australia’s 1928 tour of New Zealand.
Known as ‘Squirt’ – he was just 5 ft 2 in (157 cm) on his tippy toes – Schneider was being groomed to succeed the legendary Warren Bardsley as Australia’s opening batsman.
Tragically, he never was to achieve his dreams…
Having accessed original letters, diaries and Schneider family memorabilia, MICHAEL LEFÈBVRE tells a poignant, heartbreaking story brilliantly.
It comes in a limited edition of 200 and has been signed by the author
Hardback, picture covers. Mint
The latest in my nostalgia series.
The book was launched in late February at Xavier College, Michael and Karl’s old school.
