A handsome new edition of a miniature classic with a cult following One of the most delightful and idiosyncratic books on cricket Re-published to follow Aurum's sales and critical success with Byron Rogers' biography of J.L. Carr, The Last Englishman (1 85410 984 7) Published in association with The Quince Tree Press, the publishing imprint Carr founded and ran A perfect gift book Decorated throughout with Carr's own drawings and engravings Carr's Dictionary of Extraordinary Cricketers is one of the most original - and smallest - books ever published about cricket. But it also does exactly what its title says. From John Jackson, a retiring bowler who always blew his nose in embarassment whenever he clean-bowled a batsman, to Horace, the Trent Bridge groundsman's horse who, whenever he saw the Nottinghamshire number 11 walking out to bat, would start to amble over towards the heavy roller, here are all the game of cricket's most eccentric and quixotic practitioners. that very quickly became a bestseller - with WH Smith alone selling many thousands - and made his reputation as a remarkable and unique small publisher. Unavailable in most bookshops for over ten years, it is now reissued on Aurum's cricket list in an expanded and beautifully designed miniature hardback, illustrated with Carr's own cricket drawings and engravings.

Historians of popular culture have recently been addressing the role of myth, and now it is time that social historians of sport also examined it. The contributors to this collection of essays explore the symbolic meanings that have been attached to sport in Europe by considering some of the mythic heroes who have dominated the sporting landscapes of their own countries. The ambition is to understand what these icons stood for in the eyes of those who watched or read about these vessels into which poured all manner of gender, class and patriotic expectations.

A biography of the English educator, dictionary writer, and celebrated author of A Month in the Country. J.L. Carr was the most English of Englishmen: headmaster of a Northamptonshire school, cricket enthusiast and campaigner for the conservation of country churches. But he was also the author of half a dozen utterly unique novels, including his masterpiece, A Month in the Country, and a publisher of some of the most eccentric—and smallest—books ever printed. Byron Roger’s acclaimed biography reveals an elusive, quixotic and civic-minded individual with an unswerving sympathy for the underdog, who led his schoolchildren through the streets to hymn the beauty of the cherry trees and paved his garden path with the printing plates for his hand-drawn maps, and whose fiction is quite remarkably autobiographical. Much more than the life of a thoroughly decent man, The Last Englishman is a comic and touching anatomy of the best kind of Englishness. Praise for The Last Englishman “A miniature masterpiece of social history.” —Simon Jenkins, The Times (UK) “A fine biography. . . . Rogers has done a wonderful job.” —Daily Telegraph (UK) “Conveying the significance of the author of Carr’s Dictionary of Extraordinary Cricketers to anyone unfamiliar with his books, or what may now fairly be called his myth, was always going to be difficult. Somehow, Roger’s has managed it.” —D. J. Taylor, Sunday Times (UK) “A great success, and more life-affirming than F. R. Leavis’s entire output.” —Independent on Sunday (UK)

Covering periods ranging from the later Middle Ages to the end of the 20th century, these essays combine to offer a wide-ranging examination of the place of hero-worship and of exemplary biography in modern history and culture. The book seeks to contribute to a growing historical literature on the cults and reputations of heroes and other exemplary figures such as Plato, Isaac Newton, David Livingstone, Captain Scott, Florence Nightingale and Nelson Mandela. The essays explore and illustrate the diverse ways in which the lives and characters of specific individuals have been used as devices for talking about moral and cultural values and political and social identities.
