Omschrijving
The Batmaker is the unique story of a cricketing hero who risks his life to save the sport he loves. Defying the Gestapo and risking his life to keep cricket alive, Frederick Hanson embarks on a quest to find willow. Based on a true story, it combines an espionage thriller and a tribute to the passion that cricket inspires in us all.
"Absolutely superb read... very evocative, really paints a picture of wartime Denmark. A very, very good... fast-paced, cat and mouse thriller."
"An excellent and thought provoking read."
"I cannot recommend this enough... Brooks mixes historical fact with fiction like a batter mixes singles with boundaries in a well crafted innings to create an equally well crafted novel. If the hero had been searching for the materials to make tennis racquets, shuttle cocks or even bowling balls, the story would have been equally gripping and beautiful."
