'Dickie Bird's Britain' is about people and events and places that make Dickie unashamedly proud to be British.On a Bank Holiday weekend he is delighted to be on Scarborough sands,or at York races,but he is as much in his element discussing poultry rearing with the Duchess of Devonshire.
Welsh male voice choirs and Highland caber tossers are all grist to his mill,as much as pigeon racing and monster vegetable competitions.
Yet a remote village church can always lure him in,if it's open.
Dickie refreshes his memory by visiting Hambledon,the cradle of cricket,and where the MCC ladies are now included in the fixture list; then it's on to the arena that gives him the most pleasure of all,to Lord's,the mecca of cricket.
Dickie Bird earned the respect of everyone involved in the cricket world and has become a household name.However, 'Dickie Bird's Britain' will appeal not only to cricket lovers,but to anyone who enjoys an uplifting,heart-warming read.
