Omschrijving
An Unusual Celebrity is the inspiring story of one of English cricket's most popular personalities. Despite not fitting the mould of the typical opening bowler, Bill Bowes was a key part of Yorkshire's dominant 1930s side. After wartime ordeals, he devoted the rest of his life to cricket as a journalist, coach and speaker.
Jeremy Lonsdale is the author of seven cricket books, including five on the history of the game in Yorkshire. In 2022, an article in The Yorkshire Post said few authors had made a greater contribution to Yorkshire's cricketing history. His book A Game Divided was longlisted for the 2021 Cricket Writers' Club Award. His last book, No Picnic, tells the story of the gruelling first MCC tour of India in 1926/27.
