Another pair of delightful tales about the adventures of the residents of Batch Magna and the surrounding areas. Only a writer with Peter Maughan's gift for description would be able to narrate a cricket match in such a way that an American with very limited sports knowledge could be able to follow and understand the game.The books are timeless treasures because the reader comes to know and love the main characters, alternately shaking the head over the foibles and cheering on the victories. These stories are wonderful whether read on a Summer holiday at the beach, or over the Winter snuggled up by the fire.
