In 1832, Nyren aged 67 was living in London and he began a collaboration with [[Charles Cowden Clarke]] (1787–1877), who recorded Nyren's reminiscences of the Hambledon era and published them serially in a periodical called <i>The Town</i>. The following year, the series of articles appeared in book form as <i>[[The Cricketers of My Time]]</i>, which became a major source for the history and personalities of Georgian cricket and also came to be regarded as the first classic in cricket's now rich literary history. | In 1832, Nyren aged 67 was living in London and he began a collaboration with [[Charles Cowden Clarke]] (1787–1877), who recorded Nyren's reminiscences of the Hambledon era and published them serially in a periodical called <i>The Town</i>.
