| 520 | _a"Willow the King: The Story of a Cricket Match" by J. C. Snaith is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the cricket match between Little Clumpton and Hickory, highlighting the intense emotions and rivalries associated with amateur cricket. The narrative introduces characters such as the Captain, a gentle but proficient player, and the protagonist, who grapples with nerves and aspirations on match day. At the start of the novel, the night before the crucial match is filled with the nervous chatter of team members in the billiard room, each voicing their anxieties and hopes for the next day. We learn that the match has great significance for the players, especially as they face formidable competitors from Hickory, including the dreaded Trentham family. The protagonist expresses mental torment over the necessity of performing well while coping with superstitions about his lucky cricket cap. The scene sets the tone for a mix of humor and tension, foreshadowing the challenges the team will face during the match itself and the evolution of the protagonist's character throughout this key day.
