There are entertaining titbits. Who knew that HG Wells's father was the first bowler to take four wickets in four balls? Or that Conan Doyle got WG Grace out? * Telegraph * This well-researched study of cricket's representation in art and literature depicts a fascinating social history * Country Life * [A] comprehensive survey of cricket in the English imaginative arts . . . [Cooper] finds examples of cricket's beguiling, confounding place in the national psyche . . . His engrossing, often surprising book elegantly demonstrates that the game that inspires so much nostalgia can also be beset with conflict and hypocrisy. Which sounds perfect for a nation with as complicated a history, and contested a literature, as England. * TLS * This entertaining, informative book is a delight for any culturally-minded cricket buff * Critic * Packed with surprising details and forgotten stories, Echoing Greens is a fascinating exploration of the cultural influence that cricket has had on Englishness throughout the centuries * Idler *
