Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Susanna Kendall (illustrator). 'A charming book,' Mike Atherton writes in his foreword. 'In the chapters on his playing days there is something of a lost world that intrigued me. This was a time when county cricket was allowed to be itself, to meander along without the apparent need to justify itself to the bean-counters. A kind of joy and schoolboy fun infuses most of these pages. But there is a serious tone, too. John's account of his demons is less in-your-face than Marcus Trescothick's but all the more moving for that. All the emotions we go through in life are here: the adolescent worries and fears; the hopes and dreams of youth; the joy and discovery of young love, both imagined and real, and the pain and utter despair of losing the person you have loved. What emerges from the book is that cricket is important, but only as a medium for development of the human spirit.'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Anthony Gibson has lived and worked in the West Country all his life. He is best known for the pivotal role that he played as South West Regional Director for the National Farmers' Union in the two great farming crises of the past 40 years: BSE and the 2001 Foot and Mouth Disease epidemic. He was a key player in resolving the seminal clashes between farming and conservation on Exmoor and the Somerset Levels and in negotiating environmental management agreements covering vast areas of Dartmoor. Besides all that, he has found time to campaign for traditional cider and real ale, to champion West Country food and drink, to explore the relationship between great writers and the West Country landscape and to become the BBC's 'voice of Somerset cricket'. In 'Westcountryman' he tells the story of it all: the challenges and controversies, the crises and characters. Hailed a hero during the Foot and Mouth epidemic, he recalls in vivid detail what it was like to be in the front line when the future of West Country livestock farming hung in the balance. Anthony Gibson's life has been a full one, and he writes with passion and humour about all aspects of it, including his famous but erratic father, the loss of his virginity while working as a hotel waiter and the harrowing death through cancer of his beloved younger brother. If there is one constant running throughout the book - whether the subject be family or farming or food, cider or cricket or great writers - it is his love of the West Country. Beautifully written, this is a book that will appeal to all those who share that love of the West - or who want to understand the region's story over the past half century, told by a man who has been at its very heart. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Susanna Kendall (illustrator). John Barclay looks back on the summer of 1981, his first as captain of the Sussex cricket team. Against the backdrop of a remarkable Ashes series and a royal wedding, they go all out to win the county championship for the first time in their history. From pre-season planning in Australia to the bowling of the last ball, he recounts with a gentle humour the story of the summer, not just the cricket matches but their way of life as they travel around England, and he reflects on what it all meant. In a foreword to the book, the late David Sheppard, Bishop of Liverpool, writes: John Barclay takes us inside the life of the team. That includes tense dressing room moments, when a close finish is being fought; also the wet days that drag, journeys and meals together, and the spirit that sustained a long campaign. The characters came alive for me as I read John's account. It made me laugh out loud more than any book has achieved for years. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
