A Season of English Cricket from Hackney to Hambledon The Authors Cricket Club last played in 1912, and include among their alumni such greats as PG Wodehouse, Arthur Conan Doyle and JM Barrie. A hundred years on from their last match, a team of modern-day authors has been assembled to continue the tradition in a nationwide tour in search of the perfect day's cricket.

Over the course of a summer they played over a dozen matches in some of England's most spectacular and historic grounds. In the book, each player contributes a chapter about one of their fixtures, using a match report as a starting point for an essay on cricket and its appeal.
