More Than a Game: The Story of Cricket's Early Years |
|
 | John Major's love of cricket is well known and this weighty volume bears testament to it, along with his careful research and fine prose. Dealing with the development of cricket from its earliest days up to the early years of the C20th, Major tells the stories of key characters, places and events with an impressive depth of research but in a highly readable and entertaining way. Vivid word pictures of late C18th and C19th cricket are created and the colourful characters brought to life. Notable too is Major's ability to place cricket within the cultural, social and political context of the times. Highly recommended. read more.
