    Advantage Autumn Harsh Cloud.

    They all won Olympic tennis titles.

    P.S. Boland was the grandson of Patrick Boland, who as a young man came to Dublin from Kildare and founded Bolands' Bakery in Capel Street in 1823. John Pius himself became an IPP MP for South Kerry at Westminster. His daughter Honor Crowley was a FF TD for South Kerry.

    Miranda Carter.

    Kaiser Bill, Tsar Nick and King George. A decent enough book but a bit over long and she showed a lot of bias.
