Grandad's Old Bat: Tales from the Village Green, #5

By Michael White

Kenny is looking forward to trying out for his school team. What he's not looking forward to is using his grandad's tatty old bat. Used during his grandad's only first class century, Kenny isn't convinced that the bat causes special things to happen...

Grandad’s Old Bat is a story about village cricket. As a result it’s packed full of cricket terminology. If you don’t know much about cricket then this story might not be for you. However, if you enjoy tales of simple heroism, you may find it worth a read.
