A celebration in text and art of the many facets of English country life, from bee-keeping to cider-making, cattle shows to corn harvests, thatching a roof to planting a cottage garden, elegantly discussed by Ian Niall and exquisitely illustrated with Christopher Wormell’s beautiful and precisely realized wood engravings. We’ll be honest; this is an offset edition of the original letterpress version, but it still has the look and feel of real type and it recalls the exquisite engravings of Thomas Bewick.
