This book has just been released on Amazon for download. Paperback and Hardback copies will be available shortly. The book (209 pages) deals mainly with King's 65 first class matches (1893 to 1912). Described by former England captains C B Fry as "the best swerver I ever saw in my life" and Plum Warner as "at least the equal to the greatest of them all", King was a remarkable bowler (and with two triple centuries to his name, quite a batsman too). Let me know what you think of King, and/or the book, thanks.

Terrific that Steve Smith has the time to average 60 in test cricket and to write a book about Bart King. WAFG
