David Kynaston is a leading British social historian. His book and audiobook Arlott, Swanton and the Soul of English Cricket is a beautifully written dual biography of two of cricket's greatest commentators, John Arlott and E.W. Swanton, exploring how their contrasting styles and personalities reflected the changing character of England itself. Kynaston's writing is elegant, richly detailed and deeply evocative, and the audiobook is a wonderful listen for cricket lovers.
