Sir Neville Card us

Sir: Jam currently preparing a biography of Sir Neville Cardus which is to be published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1981. At present, I am particularly interested in Sir Neville's career before the outbreak of war in 1939, the years he spent in Australia and in his retirement. If any of your readers have any memories or recollections of Cardus during these periods of his life, I would very much like to hear from them.
