While pregnant in 1867, and absolutely certain her infant would be a boy, Anne Lloyd Jones began decorating the crib with photos of high buildings and old cathedrals, for her unborn son Frank Lloyd Wright would become the greatest architect in world history . . .Parental madness? The coauthors think not--so unabashedly convinced are we that pre-tennis learning activities can begin while the newborn is still on his back kicking and reaching, two of the first lessons needed for tennis! So it was that we reached out for several dozen PC members and friends to join us in a unique publishing adventure hitherto untried, as far as we knew, the creation of a highly illustrated book entitled, "Tennis Begins at Two", subtitled either "Instructing Parents How to Tenderly Teach Their Children How to Play the Great Game", or the hoped for, patiently awaited, universally asked question, "Mommy, daddy, will you learn me to play tennis?"
As mentioned, there is at present no book on the market, nor has there ever been a book published, a book on instructing parents how to teach two-year-old children how to play the game by anyone, well-known players, on-court judges, or aging weekend two-sets-only players. With great diffidence and lack of self-confidence, we offer this effort to serve as a fill-in for the gap in tennis literature until something better comes along. In a way, it is also intended as a means to appreciate some of the best who ever played the game.
