De: Lawrence Booth - editor

Narrado por: David Thorpe, Lawrence Booth, Terry Blake

Bloomsbury presents The Shorter Wisden 2020 edited by Lawrence Booth, read by David Thorpe, Lawrence Booth and Terry Blake.

The Shorter Wisden is a compelling distillation of what's best in its bigger brother – and the 2020 edition of Wisden is crammed, as ever, with the best writing in the game. Wisden's digital version includes the influential Notes by the Editor, and all the front-of-book articles.

In an age of snap judgments, Wisden’s authority and integrity are more important than ever. Yet again this year’s edition is truly a “must-have” for every cricket fan. In essence, The Shorter Wisden is a glass of the finest champagne rather than the whole bottle.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Wisden lands on the doorstep with a joyous thud. Its daffodil-yellow cover is the signal to anticipate the delights of spring and summer and its contents are always a treasure to relish. The oldest of sporting annuals has captured the rare trick of remaining for ever young.

Even at the age of 155, Wisden intends to keep on turning. It still sets the standard, whether it's bought as a gift, a decoration, an encyclopaedia or a huge magazine. The Wisden Almanack is all things to all men. And to all women.

By a distance the greatest book ever published. This year's almanack was better than last year's, which in turn was better than the year before – for ever.
