For over half a century, Henry Blofeld has conveyed his unfailing
enthusiasm for the game of cricket as a much loved broadcaster and
journalist. His characteristically patrician tones, overlaid with
those of the bon viveur, have delighted listeners to the BBC's Test
Match Special where the personality of the broadcaster comes second
only to a deep knowledge of the game and its players. With his
engaging conversational tone it is easy to see why listeners feel
as if they are actually at the Test match watching in Henry's
friendly company. Now that 'Blowers' has decided to declare his TMS
innings closed, his book reveals the secrets of life in the
commentary box and of the rich cast of characters with whom he
shared it, from the early days of John Arlott and Brian Johnson to
Aggers and new boys Boycott, Swann, Vaughan and Tuffers. Henry is
equally revealing of his own performances and self-deprecatingly
recalls his several verbal misfortunes while live broadcasting.
Like the greatest commentators and writers on the game Blofeld has
always understood that there is a world beyond the cricket field.
Not forgetting pigeons passing, red buses and much loved cricket
grounds, Henry Blofeld writes of his favourite countries, and
experiences while travelling, and meeting and interviewing many
cricket-loving celebrities. His passionate and entertaining book
will become one of the classics of cricket's literature.
