Items related to The The Promise of Endless Summers
It is striking that the passing of a prominent cricketer, Denis Compton, in 1997 was a significant enough event for the Prime Minister John Major to write a tribute for the Daily Telegraph. This book includes a collection of such testimonials to the heroes of the wicket from Bradman and Hutton to Trueman and Greig, written by an equally august cast of writers including EW Swanton and Christopher Martin-Jenkins.

Review:
'Whether you're a cricket fan or just someone who enjoys a good obituary, this book is perfect for dipping in and out of when you have a moment to yourself.' Best of British 'Nicely produced, reasonably priced and small enough to be a convenient volume to read at the cricket, lending itself to dipping in.' Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians 'An entertaining and exquisite collection of cricket lives.' Daily Telegraph 'A collection of beautifully written cricketing obituaries.' Sport magazine 'If you've a feeling forthe game's characters as well as its performances - particularly the old fellas - then this is worth a place in the downstairs loo, at least. Perfect for breezy browsing or even a slightly longer visit (they happen) - and possibly an introduction to some of the elements of the game's past that you're yet to fully catch up on.' All Out Cricket
