This vintage book is a detailed treatise on cricket. It contains a wealth of historical information as well as information on notable figures, instructions for playing, descriptions of the rules, hints and tips on improving your ability, and much more. “English Cricket - With 8 Plates and 21 Illustrations” is highly recommended for both beginners and those with more experience, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of vintage sporting literature. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
