The Autobiography of One of Cricket's Best-Loved Characters.

Cricket attracts characters and Henry Blofeld is certainly one of them. With his trademark bow-tie, his distinctive, rich plummy voice and his vividly eccentric observations, he has become one of Britain's prized exports. But as a commentator and cricket writer, at home and abroad, Blofeld has informed and entertained audiences with his extensive knowledge and perception of cricket at the very highest level.

As a prolific batsman for Eton he had a highly promising career as a cricketer ahead of him. But after a serious bicycle accident, and although he went on to play for Cambridge, he settled for writing and broadcasting instead. He has lived an astonishingly colourful life and his career has taken him to the far corners of the cricketing world - particularly to Australia where he spent several years.

Henry Blofeld has been forced by major heart surgery to take stock of his life. And here it is in this fine and illuminating autobiography, full of sharp pictures and vivid memories, a few sad, but often sardonic and many hilariously funny.
