Wodehouse At The Wicket: A Cricketing Anthology - Softcover

"Sublime comic genius" (Ben Elton)

"P.G. Wodehouse wrote the best English comic novels of the century" (Sebastian Faulks)

"The funniest writer ever to put words to paper" (Hugh Laurie)

"Witty and effortlessly fluid. His books are laugh-out-loud funny" (Arabella Weir)

"Compulsory reading for anyone who has a pig, an aunt - or a sense of humour!" (Lindsey Davis)

From his early days Wodehouse adored cricket and references to the game run like a golden thread though his writings. He not only wrote about this glorious British pastime, but also played it well, appearing six times at Lords, where his first captain was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Illustrated with wonderful drawings and contemporary score-sheets, Wodehouse at the Wicket is the first ever compendium of Wodehouse's writings on cricket. Edited by cricket historian Murray Hedgcock, this delightful book also contains fascinating facts about Wodehouse's cricketing career and how it is reflected in his work.

This is the perfect gift for Wodehouse readers and fans of all things cricket.
