Product Description
Book Description
P.G. Wodehouse and cricket - the unbeatable combination of all things English!
Product Description
From his early days Wodehouse adored cricket and references to the game run like a golden thread though his writings. He not only wrote about this glorious British pastime, but also played it well, appearing six times at Lords, where his first captain was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Illustrated with wonderful drawings and contemporary score-sheets, Wodehouse at the Wicket is the first ever compendium of Wodehouse's writings on cricket. Edited by cricket historian Murray Hedgcock, this delightful book also contains fascinating facts about Wodehouse's cricketing career and how it is reflected in his work.
This is the perfect gift for Wodehouse readers and fans of all things cricket.

Format:Paperback
This is a reprint of an older volume and about a third of the book is by the editor, Murray Hedgecock. Don't let this put you off though as MR Hedgecock's input is rather good, describing "Plum's" various exploits, literally, at the wicket. The rest of the book is taken up by excerpts from Wodehouse's published work, mainly his earlier work, where cricket is described in his inimitable style.
This is a delightful summer read, my only complaint being that it is rather short so it can be read at one sitting but is probably best enjoyed sitting at a match, dipped into between overs or during rain spells!
