Burning the Bails - the story of the Ashes
Author(s): Krista BELL
On Christmas Eve, 1882, Lady Janet Clarke burnt wooden bails at her home in Sunbury, Victoria, after a social cricket match between some local lads and the visiting England team. The 'Rupertswood' Ashes were presented to the Honorable Ivo Bligh, the England captain, by Lady Janet as a personal memento of his victory that Christmas Eve - but also as a joke. This picture story book is a fictionalised account of the story, told from the perspective of Lady Janet's six-yearold son, Russell.
