The Test Matches of 1953 by E. W. Swanton
I must have read this book a dozen times as a youngster and it still retains immediacy and excitement, largely because of the format : the book presents "the narrative of the Tests as it unfolded day by day" in Swanton's match reports. Maybe the language and sentiments are a little pompous at times, but Swanton seems to me to be always fair, unbiassed and of course vert well informed. Thoroughly recommended.

Swanton in Australia with MCC, 1946-75 by E. W. Swanton
Fascinating account of the Ashes tours down under on which Jim Swanton reported. This represented the first eight post-war tours.
