Fascinating

This is a book that does exactly what it says on the cover. It's a collection of some of the more unusual obituaries featured in Wisden over the years & doesn't necessarily concentrate on the most famous of cricket glitterati but more on those associated with the game (yes ,even the Lord's cat), whose obituaries have some curiosity value. I found that this was a book which was an enjoyable read , in a "dip in & out " fashion. Some quite thought provoking entries,some quite humorous & some , as with those who perished in war,very tragic. Still, an interesting collection & well worth getting a hold of.
