Best cricket books according to redditors

Rhythm and Swing - Sir Richard Hadlee

I assume from this book where some English journalist researched into illegal betting in cricket.

I got this book as a gift from colleagues not long ago, All in a Day's Cricket, which is a really nice collection of essays and articles from across different eras.

Aside from that, there are some current writer whose prose I really enjoy reading; Kamran Abbasi, Saad Shafqat, Osman Samiuddin (someone posted this article just the other day, as just one example of his excellent writing) & Rob Steen.

Here's a favourite of mine: Wings of Gold, Feet of Clay, posted not too long ago here

1. Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl
   
2. The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth.
   
3. The Story of Dr. Dolittle by Hugh Lofting
   
4. The Borrowers by Mary Norton
   
5. The Cricket in Times Square by George Seldon
   
   There are many wonderful old stories that get ignored today because publishers haven't updated the cover art and illustrations. Even the latest Roald Dahl and Beverly Cleary books have covers only parents could love. So, read these old stories to your kids now because they're not likely to pick them up at the library, and probably won't even see them at a Scholastic book fair.
   
   There are books kids choose, and books parents choose for kids. Except for Harry Potter, I'd stick to the older classics for bedtime reading.

I ordered the paperback.

Gentlemen and Sledgers. It's not bad, good holiday reading.

UK. Like £3. Think it's the right thing?
