Synopsis

Balham to Bollywood by Chris England

About this title

Review:

Fascinating and funny...a hilarious sequence of adventures, misadventures and downright oddities. Side-stepping or subverting the usual cliches of the British in India, England's book is a truly original read. (Wisden)

Part travelogue, part cricketing diary, part expose of Indian cinema, this irresistible and unlikely mixture combines to make a hilarious whole. If you only buy one book, buy this and get three books for the price of one. (Nick Hancock)

This is a charming, hugely recommended, fun book. (Cricketer)

One of the most entertaining and enjoyable reads I've had in a long while...amusing, absorbing and splendidly illustrated. (Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph)

Chris England writes as he bowls, to great comic effect. His account of an acting/cricketing jaunt to a little known part of India sparkles with funny anecdotes about cricket, Bollywood, locals, actors, and of course, Chris England. A real page-turner. (Arthur Smith)

A light and funny read (Time Out)

A hilarious volume (Glasgow Herald)

Book Description:

As read on Radio 4, the hilarious book introducing a great new comic blend of sport and travel.
