Where can you read about a monstrous cheese big enough to hold a
girl of 13 inside? Or that the invention of the bicycle directly,
and poorly, impacted sales of cheddar? Or that some of the first
cheese makers hid gold coins inside their wheels of dairy as a
sales tool? Brethren, the writer calls you this because he hopes
that you are 'cheese-minded' like himself. This classic and
charming book, a timeless love letter to English cheeses was first
published in 1937, newly rediscovered and charmingly illustrated by
EH Shepard. It is a treasure trove of wonderful anecdotes including
the tale of the monstrous cheese big enough to hold a 13-year-old
inside, the Stilton that purred like a cat and the famous
cheesemaker in Manchester who selected which Cheshire cheese to
sell based on where the mice had been nibbling 'as they were the
best judges of a good cheese'. Sir John Squire, a notable
journalist of the time, collected together 'a galaxy of talent',
with the aim of making this 'one of the most delightful and
entertaining gift books that has ever been published'. Each of the
distinguished ten contributors champion an individual cheese,
setting forward their passionate and compelling arguments,
celebrating the differences and delights of each type. Through
their explorations, the chequered beauties of the English landscape
unfolds. It will certainly whet the appetite for English cheese,
for that is ultimately what matters most, as after all 'the only
way to learn about cheese is to eat it.'
