Am belatedly adding my enthusiastic encouragement to go ahead and read the Player's Boy. Yesterday I finally had a quiet evening to sit and savour first (for all practical purposes - I did have it out of the library aged 11, before it disappeared from the shelves for ever, but didn't really get it then) reading of the Player's Boy, and can only agree with Anstruther that it is indeed "sublime". Ignore all intellectual discussions about the book, it is just beautifully written and has references to places in the modern books (e.g. the walled hawk garden) which make me very happy!
