Book Descriptions:

A long out of print novel (originally published in 1923), with a new introduction by best selling novelist Darryl Brock (author of "If I Never Get Back").

Heywood Campbell Broun was a well known American newspaper writer, who helped found the American Newspaper Guild. Broun championed the underdog, criticized social injustice, and supported labor unions. He died in 1939.

The Sun Field, Broun's first novel, is a thoroughly modern story in tone and content, with a strong feminist character, a complicated love story, with New York baseball of the 1920's at its center, and a key lead character plainly modeled on Babe Ruth. For many years, Broun was a sportswriter whose love of baseball and brilliant writing style shines through this book. A treat for contemporary readers.
