Beryl, the remarkable true story of cycling legend Beryl Burton, has been specially commissioned as an adaptation from Maxine Peake's acclaimed 2012 Radio 4 play. This inspiring biography celebrates Burton's extraordinary sporting achievements, including five world-pursuit championships and twelve national titles. Born with a natural talent for cycling, Burton's determination and persistence drove her to become one of the most astonishing sports people ever to have lived. With numerous records broken and awards won, her legacy continues to inspire generations of cyclists. This book offers a unique insight into Burton's life and achievements, shedding light on a remarkable woman who remains somewhat of a mystery.
