About this product

Product Information

In this selection of essays, Duff Hart-Davis writes about a year in the British countryside. With a keen eye for detail, he takes the reader through the seasons with incidents which are sometimes humorous, sometimes instructional, sometimes nostalgic. We read about the Gloucestershire village fete and the Severn Bore in full flow; we meet the Rat Lady of Stroud and the man who runs his own brewery; we join the author on a hot air balloon flight and share with him the intricacies of extracting combs from a beehive. There are expeditions to many parts of the countryside. There is a visit to a long-forgotten estate in Wiltshire; a chance to see merlins in Wales; a night spent in a lonely and errie house in the Scottish Highlands. The pieces selected - there are over sixty - are reprinted from the Country Matters column which appears every week in the Independent and should be of interest to both those who know his essays and those who are discovering them for the first time.
