Wodehouse At The Wicket
‘P.G. Wodehouse is the funniest writer ever to put words on paper’ - Hugh Laurie

Edited by cricket historian Murray Hedgecock, thus charming book also contains fascinating facts about Wodehouse’s cricketing career and how it is reflected in his work.
This book is the perfect gift for Wodehouse readers and fans of all things cricket.
