WISDEN – Cricketers’ Almanack for 1920 [-1924], edited by Sydney H. Pardon. London: John Wisden and Co., 1920-1924.

The first five volumes of Wisden's revival after World War One in their original hardback bindings. Varying in length from over 700 to over 1000 pages, the broad girth of Wisden in the 1920s shows how immediate was the revival of the game after the war.

5 volumes, octavo (161 x 98mm), each volume with a plate, and all bound in original publisher’s hardback cloth gilt, printed yellow endpapers (1920 and 1921 in fine condition, the others with some light discolouration of covers, light rubbing of extremities and bumping of corners).
