READERS SAY...
A superbly conceived book. Beautifully written. Very funny
but also highly evocative and, at times, strangely sad and haunting.
It has
given me more pleasure than any other book I can remember.
A lot of insights
you dont get anywhere else.
It had me in tears almost the whole way
through, either at the mirth of the stories or at the sheer nostalgia which was
brought to life by the writing.
I love the way the past seems distinct and
distant, yet at the same time somehow part of the present.
A marvellous read
in a field which is rapidly becoming stale and stereotyped.
Ive read
about a thousand cricket books, and quite frankly this is my favourite.
