"The warmest of welcomes for a delightful book" - Wisden
Inspired by Jane Austen's History of England, this dictionary of Extra-Ordinary English Cricketers was compiled by JL Carr; cricket, in particular Yorkshire cricket, being one of his greatest passions.
"Horace (c.1890) a horse of such exquisite sensibility, that, when Fred Morley, the invariable Notts. last man, left the Trent Bridge pavilion, it sidled unobtrusively towards the roller."

Publication Essentials
Pocket-sized at 13 x 9.5cm (5 x 3.5" in old money) and comprising 16 pages with a firm card cover. This little volume is just one in the series of Carr's Pocket Books; they hover between a greeting and a present and make a lasting alternative to a birthday card. In cold bedrooms, only one hand need suffer exposure. A distinguished novelist recommends them for reading in the bath and an ambassador claims they can be palmed from the cuff during tedious speeches or profitless sermons.Delivery Information

Exactly what I needed for my accountant/friend who loves cricket and has a great sense of humour. I have dipped into it , know nothing about cricket but enjoyed it for its sheer quirkiness. I will be buying more titles having discovered the Q T Press
Bought as little gifts for husband and 2 cricket mad friends. I don't understand cricket or why anyone would want to watch/listen/rave about it but this book is charming and they all loved it, so clearly JLC was tapping into something!
Thia ia the perfect present for a cricket-mad grandson....or for anyone! Witty, erudite, and beautifully written. A joy.
