The Ashes: A Celebration is Roland Perry’s sweeping tribute to cricket’s most enduring and passionate rivalry — Australia vs. England. Spanning over 130 years of Test history, the book captures the triumphs, controversies, and unforgettable personalities that have defined the Ashes, from the days of W.G. Grace and Don Bradman to modern legends like Shane Warne, Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, and Andrew Flintoff.
 
Blending historical depth with vivid storytelling, Perry examines the moments that shaped cricket’s greatest contest — Bodyline, Bradman’s brilliance, Botham’s heroics, and Warne’s artistry. Featuring archival photographs, statistical highlights, and first-hand anecdotes, this richly illustrated volume stands as both a reference work and a collector’s showcase.
 
This volume captures the evolution of Ashes cricket across eras, appealing to both historians and fans who value the game’s literary and visual heritage. Perry’s perspective as an award-winning biographer and historian makes this a cornerstone title for modern Ashes collections, particularly when paired with his earlier works.
