The Faintest of Tickles #charity #anthology #shortstories #poems #cricket – @AlexBPearl

Delighted to be playing a part in this new anthology of cricket writing devised by Alex Pearl. It’s in aid of Surrey County Cricket Club Charity Foundation.

My uncle was a whizz at Cricket but sadly that sporty gene missed me.

I must admit I was a little bit stumped what to write when Alex approached me. So, I wrote a cheeky poem.

Lol, I hope you enjoy!

Book Overview

“In this beautifully curated anthology, authors and writers who might never normally do so are given free rein to train their gaze on this most full-bodied of sporting muses.

What results is a reminder that truly nothing in life cannot be improved with a generous dollop of cricket.”Daniel Norcross.

This eclectic collection of short stories, reminiscences, essays, and poems will appeal to anyone with a soft spot for the noblest of summer games.

Besides being entertained and amused by this compilation, the reader will discover some interesting and little-known cricketing facts such as Adolf Hitler’s view of the game.

Alongside a Foreword penned by Daniel Norcross, contributors to this attractive addition to the rich canon of cricket writing include:

● John Corcut ● Bud Craig ● Judith Cutler ● Jessica Davis ● Geoffrey Dean ● Robert Deighton ● Isabelle Duncan● Laura E. Goodin ● Pete Langman ● Ben Macintyre● M. J. Mallon ● Jonathan Margolis ● Sean O’Leary ● Ann Parker ● Alex Pearl ● David Pearl ● Hugh Salmon ● Paul Stewart ● Sarah Traynor ● David Whittle ● Peter Wise● David Alan Woods

All authors’ royalties are being donated to Surrey County Cricket Club’s charity foundation.
