Paul is broadcaster, a prolific songwriter, a one-time teacher and also an author. With his former teaching colleague and great friend – and now sadly departed – Steve Haworth, he created “Cricket Through The Looking Glass” in 2010.
Cricket through the Looking Glass is a unique book in that it conveys a vivid description complete with detailed scorecards of a series of matches that have never in fact taken place. The vaults of imagination are plumbed to allow anyone who has ever existed, real or fictional, to reveal themselves under the singular aegis of the game of cricket. To some it will appear ridiculously farfetched, to others an illusion vivid enough almost to eclipse reality. Which, in an uncanny nutshell, precisely defines the fascination and intrigue of the greatest sport.
A quick check on Amazon tells us that the book is “currently unavailable”.
Good review though …. I wonder who wrote it?
