    About this ebook

    Jimmy Wentworth is known as a stonewaller and has no chance of making the team for the Twenty20 knockout cup final. That is until he receives a mysterious message, and begins to grow a rather famous beard ...


    Searching for W.G. is the fourth in Michael White's Tales from the Village Green series. A keen but extremely poor cricketer, Michael has a love for the game which he hopes is reflected in his stories about it.

    Searching for W.G. is a story of 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 love village life and tales of simple heroism, then you may find it worth a read.
