Its format makes it suited to dipping in and out of whenever you have a spare 10 minutes, and dare I say it, makes it the perfect Christmas gift 'A throwback to an age when paperboys earned a few bob delivering copies of the Daily Telegraph through the letterbox of the local vicarage. Were things really better then? Who knows - but sometimes it is good to look back in anger.' BBC Countryfile magazine 'Often humorous, but thought-provoking throughout, I found it thoroughly enjoyable. You may not agree with some of the writers' views, but you won't deny that this is an excellent read.' Country Smallholding 'The changing face of British countryside has always interested writers and this fine compilation covers everything from farming, country crafts and badger culling to wind turbines and fox hunting.' Cheshire Life 'A funny, provocative and perceptive collection that celebrates the countryside in all its glorious diversity.' Good Book Guide
