The remarkable true story of the world's most famous sports book, published to coincide with the Almanack's 150th anniversary
Through the telling of Wisden's story, we also glimpse the history of English, and world, cricket. The book is a window onto the game's most charismatic characters, its high points, lows and political storms. In The Little Wonder Robert Winder traces the central role the game has played in national life for so long. The book's 150th anniversary in 2013 is the ideal time to tell the extraordinary story of Wisden?s ? and cricket?s ? journey from Victorian times to the modern world. New every year, it feels as though it has been with us for ever.
