Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone with a deep appreciation for sports history, I was excited to dive into The Little Wonder. From the very beginning, Cameron Stewart's narration drew me in, his voice conveying the passion and dedication of John Wisden and his fellow cricketers. Stewart's ability to capture the spirit of the era and the camaraderie of the team made me feel as if I were part of the journey. However, I did find the pacing to be a bit slow at times, which occasionally caused me to lose interest. Despite this, the audiobook's exploration of Wisden's impact on cricket and his role in shaping the sport's international landscape more than made up for it. Overall, The Little Wonder offers a fresh perspective on cricket history, and Stewart's engaging narration makes it a worthwhile listen for anyone with an interest in sports or history.
