    Tales of the Autistic Village Cricketer is the neurologically ‘different’ slant of eye-opening, blunt and frankly, funny collection of completely true memoirs that have happened in my cricketing life. Starting from 2003, it initially outlines myself as a young cricketer, and how autism affected my participation; often with chuckle-inducing results! From the humorous stories involving our Margate junior skipper, Ollie Robinson of Sussex CCC fame, to abjectly refusing to remove my footwear as I entered the Horsham pavilion, and being jovially mocked due to my compelling urge of forcing a fart and sniffing the ball before bowling! But crucially, by publishing the story of my life through this cricketing lens, it gives a frank re-telling of how cricket, and the friends met solely through it, has given a socially difficult high-functioning autistic, the chance to experience life as it is intended. From the awkward opening partnership with Zak Crawley, to my first visit to a crowded nightclub and subsequently passing out, my ‘blunt and to the point’ discussion with a stripper, and the hilarious events that transpired when I lost my virginity!

  • The Art of Horsemanship and On the Cavalry General by Xenophon - cover

    The Art of Horsemanship and On...

    Name Xenophon, Morris Morgan

    Xenophon’s The Art of Horsemanship is a highly unusual text in the corpus of Classical Greek literature. It is a short survey on the various aspects of care for horses as seen by a highly experienced rider from the 5th century BCE. It is particularly notable because so many of its observations are relevant to the modern rider. Xenophon, friend of Socrates and professional soldier, is best known as the author Anabasis, the vivid account of a failed military expedition deep into Persia.  
 
The Art of Horsemanship is very different in tone and content – a practical study from deep personal knowledge gained from working with horses, but none the less fascinating. 
 
 Xenophon considers what features and qualities to look for in a horse – among them broad chest, wide nostrils, prominent eye, supple knees, positive manner– and the sound of the hoof, which indicates good feet. (The ancient Greeks did not shoe their horses). There are even useful tips on approaching the horse to avoid conflict. He discusses training over different terrains and many other useful tips. The translator, Morris H. Morgan, provides extensive notes, not just on technical pointers such as mounting without stirrups or saddle, but also by comparing contemporary sculptures where artists took licence over reality. Furthermore, Morgan provides a fascinating essay The Greek Riding-Horse, which is an extended commentary on Xenophon.  Also on this recording is Xenophon’s On The Cavalry General, a second treatise on horsemanship, but taking a different perspective.
