Sporting Scenes (1956) is a curated anthology of classic sporting writing, compiled primarily for educational and literary purposes. Edited by E. L. Black and A. H. Lawley, the volume reflects mid-20th-century British educational ideals, combining sport with literary appreciation.
 
Rather than being a single-author narrative, this book brings together extracts, essays, and descriptive passages from notable writers capturing memorable moments in sport.
 
Cricket features prominently, reflecting its cultural importance in Britain. While cricket is central, the anthology also includes scenes from: Football, Athletics, Rowing & Field sports.
