From the press release:  

From the birth of The Ashes in 1882 through to the Invincibles Tour of 1948, from the miracle at Headingley in 1981 to Ben Stokes’ incredible performance at the same venue in 2019, the book provides punchy, well-researched commentary, alongside carefully crafted line drawings that capture all the key moments. It also manages the impossible of making the 2021-22 series a gripping story. 

The book doesn’t shy away from the controversial issues such as the infamous Bodyline tour of the 1930s and ball-tampering allegations, nor does it ignore the underlying social commentary and geopolitical situation at the time, especially where it impacted on cricket, from World Wars I and II to Apartheid and Black Lives Matter.

It also illustrates the memorable light-hearted moments be it David Gower and John Morris buzzing over the Queensland ground in a Tiger Moth, or the appearance of the first streaker at a Lord’s Test. 

The book provides an entertaining and visually exciting history of The Ashes that will appeal to a wide and varied audience, from younger fans raised on social media to a more traditional readership intrigue by this fresh approach to The Ashes story. 
 There are in-jokes and Easter eggs in almost every page.
