The Promise of Endless Summer by The Daily Telegraph

A celebration of the lives of the great cricketers of recent years, in a collection of the best obituaries, appreciations, memoirs and tributes to have appeared in the paper, often by the finest writers on the game.

'Whether you're a cricket fan or just someone who enjoys a good obituary, this book is perfect for dipping in and out of when you have a moment to yourself'

'Nicely produced, reasonably priced and small enough to be a convenient volume to read at the cricket, lending itself to dipping in.'

'If you've a feeling forthe game's characters as well as its performances - particularly the old fellas - then this is worth a place in the downstairs loo, at least. Perfect for breezy browsing or even a slightly longer visit (they happen) - and possibly an introduction to some of the elements of the game's past that you're yet to fully catch up on.'

'A collection of beautifully written cricketing obituaries.'
