Unknown Author

4.9/5 (19755 ratings)

Description:Explaining John Arlott's credentials is, of course, not really necessary when introducing a book of his writings. For the record, however, one could say that he is the great all-rounder: both a prolific and gifted writer and a compelling, indeed incomparable, broadcaster. And through the media of his rich prose and unforgettable commentaries he emerges not only as a marvellous humourist, storyteller and historian but also, although no lover of misplaced nostalgia, as a caring custodian of the powerful traditions of the great game of cricket.In truth, as David Rayvern Allen points out in his introduction to the collection, we need no such excuse or justification for a further volume of John Arlott’s work. We know, simply, that it will be a joy to read.In The Essential John Arlott the extracts come from a wide range of periodicals and assorted publications, encompassing four decades of Arlott’s work and a wide variety of subjects. From broad visions of international cricket to the intricate detail of individual performances, from the pages of national papers such as The Guardian, to the less widely distributed volumes of the South Wales Cricketers’ Magazine and the Hampshire Handbook, the style remains unrivalled.Arranged into loose groupings by subject, introduced an edited by long-time friend David Rayvern Allen, and presented with clear annotations and sources, The Essential John Arlott is an appropriate vehicle for a further collection of the work of one of our greatest cricket writers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
