A captain's part;

Stanley Paul and Co Ltd

This is a mixture of cricket, cricketers and Henry Blofeld's own life since the beginning of 1984 to the end of 1987. He looks at England's disasters - such as the lost series to New Zealand in Pakistan, Australian cricket, the decline of the West Indies, Ian Botham's antics and the performance of the England captains. Each chapter incorporates humerous stories and anecdotes, together with a selection of letters from listeners and readers. He rounds off the book with an account of the 1987 World Cup and England's controversial tour of Pakistan. Henry Blofeld's previous books are "Caught Short of the Boundary" and "One Test After Another". He writes regularly for "The Independent".

My Dear Old Thing

Blofeld, Henry

<p>With floods threatening both the town of Kingsmarkham and his own home and no end to the rain in sight, Chief Inspector Wexford already has his hands full when he learns that two local teenagers have gone missing along with their sitter, Joanna Troy. Their hysterical mother is convinced that all three have drowned, and as the hours stretch into days Wexford suspects a case of kidnapping, perhaps connected with an unusual sect called the Church of the Good Gospel. But when the sitter’s smashed-up car is found at the bottom of a local quarry–occupied by a battered corpse–the investigation takes on a very different hue. <br><br>The Babes in the Wood is Ruth Rendell at her very best, a scintillating, precise and troubling story of seduction and religious fanaticism–and murder.</p>
