An indispensable guide for all cricket fans, this encyclopedic biography of legendary player Don Bradman couples mountainous research with wry humor and deft judgments. From the midwife who
delivered him—thus literally becoming the first person to “get him out”—and the plague of grasshoppers that he encountered in Canada to his last innings in Great Britain, this guidebook’s
900-plus entries include countless entertaining sidebars and a marvelous series of snapshots, introducing family, friends, teammates, competitors, and events. With delightful surprises at the
turn of every page, this comprehensive reference is the ideal companion to the life and career of the most extraordinary cricketer of all time.
