About this listen

For Ned, 1980 seems a blissful year. Handsome, charming, popular and talented, his life is progressing smoothly, effortlessly, happily. And when he meets the lovely Portia Fendeman his personal jigsaw appears complete. But timing is everything in life, and his life is about to change for ever.

Things are going to get very bad indeed for innocent young Ned. A promise made to a dying teacher and a spiteful trick played by fellow pupils will rocket Ned from cricket captain to solitary confinement, from head boy to hell. When Ned emerges he is a man bent on just one thing - revenge; and revenge is a dish he plans to savour and serve to those who conspired against him.

Part love story, part thriller, a gloriously rich mix that only Stephen Fry can dish up to us, The Stars' Tennis Balls will leave you happy and replete.

Great story! The most entertaining one from Stephen Fry I have read so far. Stephens's narration is Brilliant as I have come to expect and is what I got. I wish there was a brighter ending for Ned though. Also, Oliver's guilt was greater than others, but he got an equal punishment. And Porsche, how could she marry Gordon, if she knew he was part of the conspiracy? These are little nitpicks that I have with great movies too. Maybe that is the hallmark of great stories.

One of the greatest stories of revenge ever told!
