About this listen
Read by Julian Rhind-Tutt (Doctor Mac from BBC2's Green Wing), Harry Thompson's hilarious book tells the story of one of those great madcap enterprises that only an Englishman could have dreamed up, and only a bunch of Englishmen could possibly have wished to carry out.
© The Estate of Harry Thompson; (P) John MurrayI enjoyed this immensely and plan to share it with my husband whilst on holiday.
Go ahead and have a listen - you won't regret it.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I'd more likely recommend the unabridged book as this book doesn't fully make sense and you don't get to know so much about the characters in it.What was one of the most memorable moments of Penguins Stopped Play?
I thought Julian did an excellent job of doing all the different accents.Have you listened to any of Julian Rhind-Tutt’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No.If this book were a film would you go see it?
No.Any additional comments?
I found this book rather uninteresting and couldn't put anything into context till I read the full book. Julian does a great job with different accents but that was about all that redeemed it for me.Not very interesting book.

"Doing your damndest win or lose, and having your friends by your side at the end".
Buy this book or listen. For all us cricketers a great tale and probably in one way or another most our fortunate lives so far.
You cannot fail to enjoy, laugh out loud, smile inside, reflect, and a 😢 at the end will make you see just how lucky we have been to experience this game and what it has given us in friendship and experiences ☺ .
Wow...... Fantastic....... For all cricketers
