Freddie Flintoff and W.G. Grace: Together at last!

W.G. Grace Ate My Pedalo is a spoof 1896 periodical from The Wisden Cricketer archives that looks at cricketing events of 2010 through a Victorian lens. Funny, irreverent and lavishly illustrated, the book draws inspiration from the exuberant sporting papers of the Victorian era to lampoon England cricketers new and old.

From Queen Victoria’s views on women’s cricket to Freddie Flintoff’s heroic defiance of the Temperance Movement, no figure – historical or contemporary – is safe.

A comedy cricket book of wit, intelligence and cheek that will appeal to cricket fans of all ages, be they members of the MCC or the Barmy Army.
