A beautifully produced first edition from one of cricket’s most respected voices, John Arlott’s Book of Cricketers presents a curated gallery of players brought vividly to life through Arlott’s distinctive prose.
 
Renowned for his poetic broadcasting and deep understanding of the game, Arlott profiles a wide range of cricketers—capturing not just their statistics, but their character, style, and place within cricket’s evolving narrative. The work reads as both a reference and a literary tribute, making it particularly appealing to collectors who value cricket writing as an art form.
 
The striking dust jacket—featuring a dynamic batting image against a rich green outfield—encapsulates the era and enhances the book’s display appeal.
