A special anniversary edition with an updated chapter set 25 years
on by Chris Stewart. Over two decades ago we set up Sort of Books
to help our friend, the some-time Genesis drummer Chris Stewart,
bring his sunlit stories of life on a Spanish mountain farm to
print. Ever the optimist, Chris hoped to earn enough money to buy a
second-hand tractor for his farm. He got his tractor, as the book
spent a year on the Sunday Times Top 10 charts and went on to sell
a million and a half copies. His story is a classic. A dreamer and
an itinerant sheep shearer, he moves with his wife Ana to a
mountain farm in Las Alpujarras, an oddball region in the south of
Spain. Misadventures gleefully unfold as Chris discovers that the
owner had no intention of leaving. He meets their neighbours, an
engaging mix of farmers, shepherds and New Age travellers, and
their daughter Chloe is born, linking them irrevocably to their new
life. The hero of the piece, however, is the farm itself - a patch
of mountain studded with olive, almond and lemon groves, sited on
the wrong side of a river, with no access road, water supply or
electricity. Could life offer much better than that?
