Just finished "Blue Caps to New Zealand". A meticulously researched, fascinating story of the 1923/24 tour and the tours from other Australian sides which preceded it. Absolutely recommended for anyone interested in the formative years of New Zealand cricket.

Book 52: Blue Caps in New Zealand by @PatRodgers2 and Peter Lloyd. Bought from @KenCricket
Ostensibly about a brief cricket tour, it is equally a story of an early period of NZ cricket history. Based on extensive research. Lots of great photos too.
