An old friend once described Sir Neville Cardus as 'his own man'.It is difficult to imagine a more perceptive description of the slight young lad from Rusholme in Manchester who,by dint of his own effort,ability and imagination,created an international reputation and a beguiling personal legend in the course of a career which extended over fifty years.As a writer on both cricket and music,Sir Neville achieved a stature which is perhaps without parallel: as a man he was an enigmatic mixture of determination and diffidence,self-doubt and self-indulgence,
introspection and garrulity.
Brookes has spent five years exploring Sir Neville's life and work.With the aid of letters,hitherto unpublished manuscripts,and material gathered from conversations with many of Cardus's closest friends and colleagues,he builds up a fascinating portrait of one of England's greatest journalists.
