Book description
Hooker, Azzie, Erica and the rest all play cricket in their spare time,
but they've never taken it very seriously until now. Kiddo, one of their
school teachers, suggests they form an official team and play proper
matches - and Glory Gardens C. C. is formed. Hooker, as captain, soon
finds out that cricket teams weren't built in a day: some players
squabble, some can't catch, and some have tantrums and go home at
half-time! So will Glory Gardens go all out for victory . . . or will
they be out for a duck? Bob Cattell grew up in the fens of East Anglia
and now lives near Southwold in Suffolk. In between he worked in London
in advertising, bookselling, public relations, copywriting and teaching.
His first published children's book was Glory in the Cup (in the Glory
Gardens cricket series), written while he was running a bookshop on a
boat in Greenwich. He likes walking in mountains, theatre, opera and
most sports and supports Yorkshire CCC and Aston Villa.
