In 1960, against most predictions, England cricket team won their first ever series in West Indies. This title describes action in graphic detail, including some violent scenes at Port-of-Spain and the author paints pictures in words of all that he saw outside of the cricket grounds, from Nelson's dockyard in Antigua, and carnival in Trinidad.

Notă biografică

Alan Ross (1922-2001) was a poet, writer, journalist, editor and publisher. In fact, he was a man of letters par excellence. Born in India, educated in England, he joined the Royal Navy in the Second World War and endured the Arctic convoys to Russia. Alan Ross took over The London Magazine (the definite article was later dropped) from John Lehmann and revitalized it. There, it has been said, 'he simplified as well as unified contemporary culture by the clarity of his unique editorial taste. He also discovered many new talents.'His writing embraced poetry, cricket journalism, biography, autobiography, criticism and travel writing. Many of his titles are to be reissued in Faber Finds.
