Description:Neville Cardus (1888-1975) is widely regarded as the finest author on the sport of cricket of the 20th century, changing the way the game was written about forever. He became equally renowned as a writer on classical music - indeed, he aspired to a craeer of music criticism above that of cricket. He only accidentally, if proidentially, became a cricket reporter.As a man, he was a complex character. He and his wife, Edith, were married platonically for over 46 years. They held each other in great esteem and affection. But, outside his cricketing and musical acquaintances, Cardus was happiest in the company of a succession of young women - his 'little girls', as Edith indulgently put it.Of those 'little girls', one stood out above all others. She held a unique place in Cardus' affections through the 1930s, until her early death, and affection that lasted to the end of his own life. Her name was Hilda Elizabeth Ede, known by family and friends as Barbe, and to CB Fry as 'Milady'.
