Friendly Eleven: A Cricket Chronicle

Description:

A nostalgic evocation of postwar English cricket, capturing a world of village greens, summer afternoons, and the enduring spirit of the game. Written with affection for the traditions and camaraderie of amateur cricket, the novel follows the fortunes of a spirited eleven whose triumphs and setbacks unfold against the comforting life of mid-century Britain. Rich in period atmosphere, the book recalls an era when cricket was as much about character and companionship as competition itself.

With delightful illustrations by F. Quilter.
