A new book which continues the great tradition of Fatty Batter, but this time from a player who played at a high level. This week we have a twin review from David and Martin.
CRICKET BOOKS
A book collectors dream, a rare dust jacket, on a hard to find book. All it is missing is the signature of the “Iron Duke.”
Finally one of the boys reviews a book that I have read! The author David Foot is one of the best cricket writers at bringing to life the ‘man’ and not just the cricketer.
W.G, the Prince of wicket keepers, give me Arthur, and the Terror. All legends of the game and all feature in this book of the 1893 tour. See what Archie thought of this tour book.
Yet another book recommended by the team, how will I keep up? But as I always enjoy books about an English season this is another one that I will have to buy
It seems this is a miss rather than a hit, but still this review has me intrigued to see what Mr Fletcher had to say about those nasty Aussies.
A book that has been sitting on my shelf for a long time, but after reading this review I will dust it off, and if Martin is right I will enjoy this quality offering.
A book with a difference, part cricket match, part adventure and part hedonistic paradise. It is certainly the best book cover we have featured on Cricket Web.
A modern cricket author, once described the writings of R.S. Whitington as ‘grating.’
A five star book from a very tough marker. I will certainly be ordering a copy of this one.
