The book focuses on the scarcity and rising costs of early 1900s literature, emphasizing the importance of preserving these classic works. It highlights the effort to republish these texts in affordable, high-quality editions that maintain the original content and artwork, ensuring that timeless literature remains accessible to contemporary readers.
A one-time Southampton policeman and BBC literary producer working with such writers as E.M. Forster, John Betjeman and Dylan Thomas, who became a close friend, John Arlott has always considered himself lucky. From his first ten-minute summaries of the 1946 Indian cricket tour until his retirement in 1980 he commentated on every Test match England ever played. This autobiography looks at his schooldays, about great cricketers he has known or watched and about his standing for the Liberals in the 1955 General Election.
