Books
Known as 'The Little Wonder', John Wisden was a key member of the England cricket team who in 1859 sailed across the Atlantic to undertake the world's first overseas cricket tour. But there was much more to him than just potent batting and a highly effective bowling action and, after his retirement, Wisden went on to publish the now-historic first edition of the book that would make his name immortal. This book traces the history of Wisden and cricket's unique place in the British imperial and post-colonial world.
