Trumper: The Definitive Biography is widely regarded as the most authoritative and complete study of Victor Trumper, one of Australia’s most celebrated and romanticised cricketers. Peter Sharpham delivers a meticulously researched biography that goes beyond the mythology, examining Trumper’s cricketing genius, personal life, social conscience, and enduring influence on the spirit of the game.
 
Drawing on contemporary accounts, archival sources, and cricket literature, Sharpham situates Trumper within the golden age of Australian cricket, while also exploring his role as a cultural figure whose sportsmanship and attacking style defined an era.
 
This work is frequently cited by later historians and remains the benchmark against which all Trumper biographies are measured.
 
A cornerstone volume for serious cricket historians and collectors of classic Australian cricket literature.
