“The Weaving Willow is a dangerous book for cricket lovers and others beside. It is the sort of book which makes one miss one’s train, be late for meals, and keep the light on too late at night. From the first page to the last it is alive with lasting good humour. On every page of this book there is gaiety and sheer, honest enjoyment. The author has succeeded in setting down those virtues – kindliness, humanity, and humour – which Mae cricket the best and essentially most English game of all.” Manchester Guardian
“His (John Marshall’s) little book is delicious, sane and adult. The truth is this is a real book and deserves to be a success even if only because it was written without such a thought in mind.” Time and Tide
“…John Marshall’s enchanting The Weaving Willow.. a carefreee recital of all the various joys of village cricket and cricketers. This is the veritable English scene, cool beer and village Spofforths and all.” Daily Sketch
