Description: After England's cricketers famously lost to Australia at the Oval in August 1882 a mock obituary notice was published in the "Sporting Times", announcing that 'the body [of English cricket] would be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia'. It was this announcement that brought 'the Ashes' into existence.
Synopsis: 'Cricket's Burning Passion' is at once an historic account of the very first Ashes tour and a love story involving England's aristocratic cricket captain and a young Australian piano teacher.
Illustrations: 8 pages
