Description

From the first appearance of the tiny urn more than 120 years ago, the Ashes remain the most coveted prize in Anglo-Australian cricket. The kangaroo has held sway over the English lion over much of the recent past, barring the fantastic 2005 series in England regarded by many as the finest contest in living memory. The Little Book of the Ashes published by Green Umbrella Publishing traces the history of one the oldest sporting rivalries and the great Test match of 1882. With over 100 illustrations contained within 128 pages this book is a perfect companion for all cricket fans.
