‘Hotten holds court beautifully on all aspects of the game’ Guardian

Praise for The Meaning of Cricket:

‘A beautifully written meditation on the joys of summer’ Tom Holland Evening Standard, Book of the Year

‘Hotten is not just good, he is one of the best… He has the eye for a beautifully judged phrase’ Cricketer

‘Hotten has emerged as a worthy addition to the lineage of writers who adhere to C L R James’s aphorism: “What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?”… This will be a worthy addition to any cricketing bookshelf’ New Statesman

‘For those dreaming of summer, The Meaning of Cricket is accessible, fun and elegantly written’ Hilary Mantel, New Statesman, Book of the Year

‘Simultaneously playful and packed with insight … All cricketing life is here… Hotten’s writing is accessible and often moving’ Observer

‘Memory and meditation twirled into a lovesong: Jon Hotten hits it out of the park’ William Fiennes
