The Festive Soul of English Cricket by Chris Arnot
First came the World Cup, then a dramatic Ashes series. The summer of 2019 was a memorable one for lovers of cricket in England. While the major stadia were full of cheering and chanting crowds, county cricket festivals made an unexpected comeback. This is a book full of humorous observation and conversation in outgrounds full of character and characters. It's also about the journeys between, the towns around and the pubs nearby. The author of Britain's Lost Cricket Grounds and Britain's Lost Cricket Festivals finds much to celebrate about England and the game that it gave to the world.
