Maiden Over

"When Tony Hinton, captain of a touring cricket team, invites a barmaid named Bobbie Spencer to make up his eleven for a country house match, he has no idea that this gesture will eventually shake the cricket world to its foundations." Probably not an accurate account of the birth of women's cricket from the author of Mr Everyman and Paul Temple collaborator Hatton. Very light spotting to block edge, but internally all is clean and bright. Smart green boards with crisp black titling to spine. Good unclipped d/j a little worn to edges and marked to rear with small closed tear. 12mo. 192pp
