Young Wisden : A New Fan's Guide to Cricket
Tim De Lisle
Hardback

A & C Black Publishers Ltd: 'Time de Lisle's 'Young Wisden' is a cracking idea. A guide to cricket for kids - when they can wrestle is from their parents' grasp, that is. Stats, laws and dates are all in here, but so are celebrated sledges, roly-poly captains and wacky wicket keepers.' Time Out (December 2007) 'Incomparable really, different planet stuff. It is comprehensive without being bewildering, colourful but not showy, confident but never esoteric. It is also superbly designed.' Wisden Cricketer 'If you're a cricket-mad parent and want to get your child(boy or girl) as passionate about cricket as you are, save yourself a lot of time...and let Tim de Lisle do the business for you. He and his book are much more likely to suceed - trust us.' Sport (Main) 'packed with information and superbly designed, this is perfect for the youngsters who prefer Pietersen to Rooney.' The Times 'The cricketing world's bible specially written for children.' The Economist (December 2007)
