As editor and writer of countless publications over the last three decades, including the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, Graeme Wright's name is synonymous with the world of cricket writing. In A Wisden Collection, his idiosyncratic style provides us with a collection of the many highs and lows, trials and tribulations that make cricket the sport we know and love.

Ian Wooldridge, Daily Mail 'Capturing the essence and spirit of Wisden A lot of the fun' Daily Telegraph 'a quaint despatch from a vanished world, a volume full of sepia-tinted accounts' New Statesman
