Review
"'A rich bespoke treasury of cricket poetry...a sumptuous Semprini selection: old ones, new ones, loved ones, neglected ones' Spectator 'An excellent present for the cricket lover who has everything - and extremely useful for all those moments when rain stops play' Best of British 'No other sport lends itself so lyrically, lovingly, and occasionally ludicrously, to this game of ritual and contemplation. All the moods are captured here, from the pastoral, intellectual and romantic to the comic...This is a book full of pleasures and surprises.' Western Daily Press"
Synopsis
This beautifully produced volume contains verse written by the great exponents of the game, covering a period of over 250 years from its infancy up to the present day. The selection features the cricketing reflections of famous celebrants of the game ranging from P.G. Wodehouse, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and E.V. Lucas, to Francis Thompson and Neville Cardus. It is certain to please all tastes, from the serious to the satirical, and will be a worthy addition to the bookshelves of cricket lovers of all ages.
