‘Moss raced in 108 different cars, many lovingly described by Williams, who knows his torque from his traction. He writes skilfully for petrolheads but also those of us whose delight is in the quirky details... a book that is rather more than a biography. Call it an appreciation of what makes a sporting hero. This book would certainly be the starting point for any screenplay in affectionately setting out why Moss, the racer, was so revered.’

— Matt Dickinson 

Quotes

  • 'A fascinating read and sure to be the definitive account of his life'

    — Mark Knopfler
  • 'Williams's fast-paced and affectionate biography...captures the bold, engaging spirit of one of Britain’s best-loved sporting heroes... [he] seems incapable of writing a dull sentence about these now legendary racing cars’

    — Justin Marozzi
  • 'An affectionate and atmospheric look at what it was which elevated him to iconic status'

  • 'Williams's...work is incredibly good value for money. A fine introduction to both a bygone era and one of motorsport's greatest figures' 

    — Kevin Turner
  • ‘The Boy is not a conventional biography…it offers 60 short chapters, each focusing on one incident, one person, one car or one aspect of Moss’s personality. This proves to be a fresh way of telling a story that’s been told many times before…We are in very safe hands with Richard Williams…[he] is, as ever, great at juggling the big picture and the tiny detail.’

    — Colin Overland
  • '[A] sympathetic, exhaustive anatomy of an international sporting hero, part-time playboy and ultimate family man'

    — Patrick Skene Catling
