{"product_id":"9781915237767","title":"Catching the Light : A New Anthology of Cricket Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003e`Cricket is battle and service and sport and art' says�Douglas Jardine as he dreams up brutal tactics tobeat the Australians in the 1930s. It's also about�class and race, language and reflection, it's timelessand it's `just a game'. It's Empire and sunset, death�and renewal, children and long-ago memories.�Sometimes, it's just dust and sunburn.   The fractured dreams of wide-eyed children feature�alongside the exploded rhythms of a day spent�not watching but feeling the game, measured and deliberate and not always under control. The�emotional range of cricket's living theatre is fully�explored as ordinary actions are transformed into myth and back again. The rhythms of play are�insisted upon and exploded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":59525288460622,"sku":"9781915237767","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781915237767","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
