Description

The Mystery of Lot 212 and a Tour de France Obsession is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of history, mystery, and travel writing. In 2020, author Ned Boulting purchased a short Pathé news film from a London auction house, which turned out to be a 2.5-minute sequence from the 1923 Tour de France. Through meticulous research and analysis, Boulting unravels the story behind the film, taking readers on a journey through the history of cycling and France just five years after WWI.

As Boulting delves deeper into the mystery, he discovers a captivating narrative that spans travelogue, history, and mystery. With his unique blend of historical sleuthing and travel writing, he brings to life a moment in time that has been lost to the past. This book is a compelling and often touching account of a forgotten era, and a testament to the power of curiosity and determination.
