Get excited for the 2017-18 Ashes series with this wonderful collection of wacky and hilarious anecdotes from the man who is never stumped for a good cricketing story, Phil Tufnell.

A deliciously eccentric series of anecdotes, Tuffers’ Cricket Tales is a Sunday Times bestseller. Phil Tufnell, aka ‘Tuffers’, is the much-loved English cricketer from the 1990s who has now become one of this country’s favourite broadcasters. Not cast from the same mould as other players of his generation, Tufnell became a cult figure for his unorthodox approach to the game … and to life in general. Tuffers’ Cricket Tales is a collection of the great man’s favourite cricket stories that will amuse and inform in equal measure. Tufnell’s unmistakably distinctive voice, as heard to such good effect on Test Match Special, steers fans through dozens and dozens of terrifically entertaining and insightful anecdotes, garnered from his 25-year playing and broadcasting career. He introduces a cast of genuinely colourful characters found in dressing-rooms and commentary boxes from around the world, and in the process offers a uniquely warm and quirky homage to his sport. A perfect gift for all cricket fans.

Raves for Tuffers’ Cricket Tales: ‘Hilarious’ (Daily Star Sunday); ‘Amusing’ (All Out Cricket); ‘Deliciously eccentric’ (Lytham St Anne’s Express)

‘This book proves once and for all that Tuffers is a national treasure. The beauty of this book is that even people who only like cricket a little, love Tuffers a lot. A winner’

‘This book is an absolute hoot. There’s a funny story pretty much on every single page, and the warmth of Tuffers’ heart shines through. An absolute must for all cricket fans’

Meanwhile, Rory still isn’t speaking to her and Bertram is more interested in growing his awful new beard. The arrival at the Lodge of four mysterious ‘Mr Smiths’ – and some outrageous proposals for Scotland’s future – raises tensions to boiling point, and that’s not even mentioning the German spy lurking in the woods, or the accident with some hot soup …

To the outside world Alice, Jake and Harry have little in common.

Alice is a social outsider: reclusive, middle-aged, and with only 850,000 honeybees for company.

Jake, following an accident at a high school party, is grappling with life in a wheelchair and dashed dreams of music school.

And Harry is an aimless twenty-four-year-old suffering from debilitating social anxiety.

But when Alice nearly crashes her pick-up truck, packed with thousands of honeybees, into Jake, the last thing she expects is to find that Jake has a gift: he can hear her bees’ buzzing as a form of music. And when Harry also arrives at Alice’s farm, looking for work, it is the beginning of this trio’s unlikely friendship.

All seems right with their world – until the buzzing stops. . .

Now, these friends must unite to defend their bees.

Set in the gorgeous, sprawling countryside of the Pacific Northwest, Eileen Garvin’s THE MUSIC OF BEES is about finding friendship in the most unlikely of places, and the families we choose for ourselves. Heart-warming, inspirational and redemptive, it is perfect for fans of THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS and Rachel Joyce.
