First sentence: I was born at Cootamundra, New South Walves, on August 27th, 1908, and when two years of age was taken with the rest of the family - I have three sisters, Islet, Lily, and May, and one brother, Victor - to Bowral, where my father set up as a carpenter.
Description: From Foreword: "In the following pages I have endeavoured to tell the story of my cricketing life from its beginnings in my old school playground, at Bowral, to the end of the 1930 Australian tour; and in setting out, step by step, the various stages of my career, I hope I have succeeded in conveying to the reader my great love for the glorious game of cricket."
