'To say "the best cricket book ever written" is piffingly inadequate praise' Guardian 'Great claims have been made for [Beyond a Boundary] since its first appearance in 1963: that it is the greatest sports book ever written; that it brings the outsider a privileged insight into West Indian culture; that it is a severe examination of the colonial condition. All are true' Sunday Times C L R James, one of the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century, was devoted to the game of cricket. In this classic summation of half a lifetime spent playing, watching and writing about the sport, he recounts the story of his overriding passion and tells us of the players whom he knew and loved, exploring the game's psychology and aesthetics, and the issues of class, race and politics that surround it. Part memoir of a West Indian boyhood, part passionate celebration and defence of cricket as an art form, part indictment of colonialism, Beyond a Boundary addresses not just a sport but a whole culture and asks the question, 'What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?
The Meaning Of Luck by Steve Waugh Book In The Meaning of Luck, former Australian cricket captain and 2004 Australian of the Year Steve Waugh explores the concept of luck, based on his experiences in the worlds of sport, business and charity. Steve begins by recalling the potentially devastating event that rocked his life in 2006, when his wife Lynette suffered a life - threatening brain bleed. Today, Lynette describes her illness as a 'stroke of luck', which she can do only because she fought so hard to regain her health and strength. She is lucky, but only because she chose to be. Lynette is the first of a number of characters in the book who have triumphed over adversity. Also featured are cricketers, coaches, business and community leaders, and some of the brave children Steve has come into contact with through his philanthropy in India and Australia. There are tales from Ashes Tests, World Cups and the Olympic Games. The stories in The Meaning of Luck carry messages about leadership, maximizing potential and having fun. Together, they provide a guide for people seeking to progress not just in sport, but in whatever direction they choose for their lives

'One of my life's greatest tragedies is to have already read Pickwick Papers - I can't go back and read it for the first time' Fernando Pessoa Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers - a comic masterpiece that catapulted its twenty-four-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the sportsman Winkle and, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr Pickwick, and his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, characters and incidents sprang to life from Dickens's pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour and literary invention.

Have you ever seen those mix-n-match books, where you have the head, mid-section, and legs of one character, but you can flip on piece of it to make an entirely new combination of characters and story? My daughter has one and it inspired me to get a little creative in my class! We have been studying similes and metaphors in class. To help the kids along, I read them "Quick as a Cricket" by Audrey Wood. It is a very simple book, in which she uses simple similes to compare the main character to various animals. After reading the book, the students created a divided circle map in which they listed all the adjectives they could think of that described themselves, then all of the animate and inanimate objects that would also be fitting for a self-description. The next step was a tree map. I had the students break their body up into 3 parts -- head, mid-section, and legs/feet. They then used their circle map to create comparisons between themselves and the objects, all relating to that portion of their body. For example, they could write "dark cave of thoughts" under head, or "fast cheetah" under legs. The idea was to get them thinking about how different parts of their body could be compared to objects that were definitely not alike. Once the Tree Maps were complete, I asked the students to choose their four favorite comparisons from each section. They needed to write as many simple similes and metaphors from those comparisons. Again, we used a divided Circle Map (can anyone tell I love using Thinking Maps???) Finally, they chose the two favorites from each category and, on a separate piece of paper, they made those simple similes and metaphors complex. For example, using the dark cave from above, a student may have written, "I am a dark cave of emotions after watching a scary movie." or "I am an active volcano ready to spurt out my knowledge during the trivia game." This is the finished product (minus cover), when it is all closed up. Once these were done, the fun began. The students were given a four pieces of paper with a person figure on each. I had pre-drawn a line separating their head, from the midsection, and then the legs. On each section, they put either a simile or metaphor. They then drew a that part of the body to resemble the metaphor. The students then cut the slips, so that you could mix and match the different parts...all of which came together to make the author (mimicking the last line of Quick as a Cricket). When you open up the flaps, the "story" changes. You can make any mixture you want! Another view with different flaps open (sorry it is so blurry! iPhone does that sometimes)
Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers - a comic masterpiece that catapulted its twenty-four-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the lover Tupman, the sportsman Winkle and, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr Pickwick, and his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, via the Fleet debtors' prison, characters and incidents spring to life from Dickens's pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour and literary invention.
Teacher Notes: Before reading the book to your students, preview the new vocabulary and all of the opposite words. Either in whole group or in think, pair, share, have your students discuss the meanings of the words and why the author and illustrator chose each adjective for each specific animal. After reading the story two or three times over the course of the week and reviewing vocabulary, assign or have your students choose one set of opposite words for their independent activity. There are two different leveled activities to meet your students' needs for each set of opposite words. When the students have completed their activity, have them share it with you and explain their illustration and/or writing in further detail. *I use this activity in the beginning of the year to introduce vocabulary. This lesson is used to model asking and answering questions about unknown words in a text. The common core standard addressed is: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.K.4 Activity 1: wild/tame (student illustrates only) Activity 2: wild/tame (student illustrates and writes a sentence about the meaning of the word) Activity 3: lazy/busy (student illustrates only) Activity 4: lazy/busy (student illustrates and writes a sentence about the meaning of the word) Activity 5: weak/strong (student illustrates only) Activity 6: weak/strong (student illustrates and writes a sentence about the meaning of the word)
From the author whose books inspired the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small, Vet in Harness is the fourth volume of James Herriot's classic memoirs; a book for all those who find laughter and joy in animals, and who love the magic and beauty of Britain's wild places. The Yorkshire dales have never seemed more beautiful for James - now he has a lovely wife by his side, a partner's plate on the gate and the usual menagerie of farm animals, pets and owners demanding his constant attention and teaching him a few lessons along the way. All of the old Darrowby friends are on top form - Siegfried thrashes round the practice, Tristan occasionally buckles down for finals and James is signed up for a local cricket team. 'I grew up reading James Herriot's books and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then' - Kate Humble 'Herriot's enchanting tales of life in the Dales are deservedly classics. Full of extraordinary characters, animal and human, the books never fail to delight' - Amanda Owen, bestselling author of The Yorkshire Shepherdess

No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine. Her situation in life, the character of her father and mother, her own person and disposition, were all equally against her. Her father was a clergyman, without being neglected, or poor, and a very respectable man, though his name was Richard—and he had never been handsome. He had a considerable independence besides two good livings—and he was not in the least addicted to locking up his daughters. Her mother was a woman of useful plain sense, with a good temper, and, what is more remarkable, with a good constitution. She had three sons before Catherine was born; and instead of dying in bringing the latter into the world, as any body might expect, she still lived on—lived to have six children more—to see them growing up around her, and to enjoy excellent health herself. A family of ten children will be always called a fine family, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the number; but the Morlands had little other right to the word, for they were in general very plain, and Catherine, for many years of her life, as plain as any. She had a thin awkward figure, a sallow skin without colour, dark lank hair, and strong features;—so much for her person;—and not less unpropitious for heroism seemed her mind. She was fond of all boys' plays, and greatly preferred cricket not merely to dolls, but to the more heroic enjoyments of infancy, nursing a dormouse, feeding a canary-bird, or watering a rose-bush...
