Following Brian Johnston's death in 1994, Prime Minister John Major appeared to speak for the nation when he remarked that Summers will never be the same. To an Englishman's ears, the sound of leather against willow will always be closely associated with the cheerful tones of Johnners. Brian Johston summed up his books as the meanderings of a remarkably happy and lucky person, to whom life, like cricket, is a funny game and still a lot of fun. Edited by his eldest son, Barry, this is a compendium of three of his best loved books.
