Walter Bernard Hunt was een Amerikaanse kunstenaar en auteur wiens werk een rijke schakering van ambachten en kunstvormen verkende. Hij verdiepte zich in traditionele vaardigheden, met een focus op onderwerpen als houtbewerking, sieraden maken, en de kunst en optredens van inheemse Amerikanen. Hunt trachtte de schoonheid en het praktische nut van deze ambachten vast te leggen en te delen via zijn productieve geschriften. Zijn aanpak was geworteld in een diep respect voor traditie en de wens om deze waardevolle vaardigheden door te geven aan toekomstige generaties.

From established sports journalist Ben Hunt, the very first biography of the up-and-coming British driver Lando Norris, published on the brink of the British Grand Prix. As the youngest ever British Formula 1 driver, Lando Norris is trailblazing his way through the world of motor racing. After signing as a junior driver for McLaren in 2017, he has since asserted himself as the team's brightest talent and an aspiring world champion. Born to British and Belgian parents and raised in the idylls of south-west of England, Lando's childhood reflects how even the calmest of upbringings can create an adrenaline junkie. As one of a new cohort of young drivers seeking to assert their dominance in the sport, Lando is a uniquely modern sportsman, who celebrates learning and personal development, but who nonetheless has the killer instinct required to take him to the very pinnacle of F1. In Lando Norris, motor sport aficionado and journalist Ben Hunt draws on his extensive driver and paddock access to seek to understand what makes Lando tick and examines how this young British driver has been well and truly raised in the mould of a champion.
