Of Song - Marcus Strickland Quartet

Marcus Trescothick

Advantages: Is a key player for England
Disadvantages: Sometimes gives his wicket away

Marcus Trescothick - Test Career Marcus Trescothick has been a superb find for English cricket. He has come a long way from his days at county side Somerset. He has been an integral part of the success England have recently enjoyed. He made his debut against the West Indies at Old Trafford in August of 2000. He is playing in his 50th test this week against New Zealand at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Since his debut has been an ever present for England and has contributed many runs in England games.

Earthsea Quartet

Advantages: Fantastically realised world, focused plot
Disadvantages: Minimalist detail, not a cohesive collection

The Earthsea Quartet compiles Ursula Le Guin's first four novels set in the Iron Age styled world of Earthsea. The first three books of the original trilogy were published over four years, from 1968 to 1972.
