This is a celebration of the life and times of a distinguished cricketer, charting Len Hutton's development from being a promising youth to achieving the status of a leading Test Match player. The author sets out to bring to life such moments as Hutton's historic innings of 364 and England's long-awaited recapture of The Ashes under his captaincy in 1953. The book covers his tours of Australia, the West Indies and South Africa, discusses the merits of his international contemporaries and finally examines the role of knighted elder statesman which he fulfilled until his death in September 1990. Statistical data is used to offer a comparison with other outstanding players in cricket's history. David Lemmon edits The Benson & Hedges Cricket Year Book and his other cricket books include a number of biographies and official county histories.
