REVIEW QUOTES

The immortal Botham's staggering exploits of that year have inspired several hefty volumes, but none comes near the charm, wit and entertainment of John Barclay's recollections.

Tim Rice, Daily Telegraph

 

It made me laugh out loud more than any book has achieved for years.

Rt Rev David Sheppard

 

The most unpretentiously enjoyable of recent cricket books.

Christopher Martin-Jenkins, The Times

 

John Barclay's book reflects a most engaging personality. A gentle passion shines from every description of incident and every glimpse of character. Beautifully produced, with delightful drawings by Susanna Kendall, the book is dedicated to Mary-Lou, his wife, who died tragically young. A finer tribute is hard to imagine.

Robin Marlar, The Cricketer
