Add to basketCloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Over the past century, all sorts of cricket anthologies have been put together, but this book, assembled by two members of the MCC, ranges more widely in time and place than any of them: from the origins of the term 'cowshot' to descriptions of great matches, and from Taunton to the Solomon Islands. It includes sadness as well as joy, and a whiff of violence as well as the smell of mown grass. Very slight shelf wear to top of spine D/J.
