About this Item

6 + v + 87 pages, In a very good condition slip-case. The story of Percy Perrin's tremendous innings of 343 not out for Derbyshire at Queen's Park, Chesterfield, in 1904, only for him to end on the losing side against Essex for whom Charles Ollivierre's total of 321 runs in the match, for once out, was vital. Short biographies of all who played in the match and other aspects, including one chapter entitled 'Memories of a Derbyshire Cricketer' (based on the recall of Jim Hutchinson, who played for Derbyshire 1920-31), make this book extremely fascinating. This is a limited edition of 75 copies, of which only the first 41 were signed by Jim Hutchinson due to his "advanced age [of] 103". This copy is number 38 and is thus signed by both. Foreword by Gerald Brodribb. The most minuscule of small marks at bottom of title page, yet still in Near Fine condition. Seller Inventory # 5694
