Publisher's Synopsis
E. Yorke-Smith is a guidebook for outdoor games that were popular in the late 19th century. The book is divided into two sections: the first section describes a variety of games that can be played outdoors, including tag, hide-and-seek, and blind man's bluff. The second section is devoted entirely to the game of ladies' cricket, which was a modified version of the traditional game of cricket that was played by women.The book provides detailed instructions for each game, including the number of players required, the equipment needed, and the rules of play. The author also includes illustrations to help readers visualize the games and understand the rules.The section on ladies' cricket is particularly interesting, as it provides insight into the way that women's sports were viewed in the 19th century. The author notes that the game was designed to be less physically demanding than traditional cricket, as it was believed that women were not capable of playing the more strenuous version of the game.Overall, The New Outdoor Games Of Hildegarde And Ladies������� Cricket is a fascinating glimpse into the history of outdoor recreation and women's sports in the late 19th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of games and sports, or for those looking for fun outdoor activities to enjoy with friends and family.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
