'Not a cosy series of reminiscences but a slice of bygone reality.
This delightful collection of country curiosities shows rural life
in the raw a hundred or more years ago. Hugely enjoyable, a real
eye-opener and surprisingly useful!' Alan Titchmarsh A perfectly
formed and beautifully presented collection of titbits from the
ever-surprising pages of Country Life. Flitting from observations
on cheese rolling in Gloucestershire to smuggling silk in Sussex,
from Shakespeare's Avon to the vanishing sign language of country
tramps ... and all by way of a charming rumination on the origins
of the simnel cake. Within these lovely pages there will indeed be
something for everyone. Classic writing on the idyllic British
countryside, Wodehousian ruminations on fishing and golf, and
moving accounts of beloved (and unusual) pets. With a highly
entertaining blend of expert views and humorous asides, Curious
Observationsis a perfect Christmas gift.
