À propos de cet e-book

The Rev Edmund Carter introduced the great Lord Hawke to Yorkshire cricket. Although he played only a handful of first-class matches for Yorkshire, he played the game for Oxford University in the 1860s, in Victoria as a young man, and in West London, before the bulk of his life’s work as a clergyman in the shadow of York Minster.

À propos de l'auteur

Anthony Bradbury was born in Goole, Yorkshire, in 1941. His recollection of early days in Yorkshire is slim for his family moved to Kent in the late 1940s and all his initial interest in cricket arose in southern England. Nevertheless his cricketing hero was and has remained Len Hutton and the only team that he has unswervingly supported at all times has been Yorkshire CCC. He is a past Chairman of the Yorkshire CCC Southern Group and has written regularly for the Yorkshire Yearbook.

He has also written a short history of Early London County Courts, and Frank Mitchell, Imperial Cricketer (ACS: Lives in Cricket 34).
