Once again, Cattell has delivered. His pure enthusiasum for cricket shines through throughout the whole book. If u haven't read any of the Glory Garden stories, then stop reading this review, and start reading Glory in the Cup, the superb introduction to this magnificent series.
The glory gardens series is basically about some young cricketers and how they try to improve and win some silverware. However, in the process of telling this story, Cattell manages to amaze you with just how interesting he can make cricket. After a while you becvome completely immersed in the antics of Frankie, the joking wicketkeeper; and Ohbert the boy who once and for all manages to prove that not everyone has a purpose in life!
My advice is to read this brilliant book. It is fantasticly well written, with great backing daigrams that fully illustrate his ideas of the field settings etc.
Superb reading - get it quick!!
