Sur les talons pointus de la première victoire de série d'Angleterre en Australie depuis 24 ans, vient la version mise à jour du best-seller Little Book of The Ashes. Produit par l'équipe éditoriale derrière le premier magazine indépendant de cricket du pays, All Out Cricket, le livre cadeau de 128 pages entièrement illustré contient tous les points forts de la récente série de cinq matchs. Parmi les moments magiques figuraient deux siècles d'Alastair Cook et Kevin Pietersen, ainsi que la série record de scores de Mike Hussey et le premier tour du chapeau de Peter Siddle. The Little Book of The Ashes retrace l'histoire de la rivalité anglo-australienne jusqu'aux jours de Grace and Spofforth et au grand match de test de 1882 auquel les deux hommes ont participé. C'est le match qui comprenait la célèbre nécrologie simulant le deuil de la mort du cricket anglais qui s'est conclu avec l'idée que le « corps » serait incinéré et les cendres ramenées en Australie – et la légendaire série bi-annuelle a commencé. Se termine par de brefs détails de la prochaine série Ashes en Angleterre et au Pays de Galles en 2013.

Hot on the spiked heels of England's first series victory in Australia for 24 years, comes the updated version of the best-selling Little Book of The Ashes. Produced by the editorial team behind the country's leading independent cricket magazine, All Out Cricket, the 128 page fully illustrated gift book contains all the highlights of the recent five-match series. Among the magic moments were double centuries from Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen, as well as Mike Hussey's record-breaking run of scores and Peter Siddle's first match hat-trick. The Little Book of The Ashes traces the history of the Anglo-Australian rivalry right back to the days of Grace and Spofforth and the great Test match of 1882 in which both men took part. It was the match that included the famous mock obituary mourning the death of English cricket which concluded with the idea that the "body" would be cremated and the Ashes taken back to Australia - and the legendary bi-annual series began. Concludes with brief details of the next Ashes series in England & Wales in 2013.
