About this title

About the Author:

Ian Niall (1916-2002) was the pen name of John McNeillie, author of over forty books on country matters, including The Poacher's Handbook and The Way of a Countryman. In 1990 he celebrated forty years as a columnist, at one point both for The Spectator and for Country Life where he was known and loved by a wide public for his weekly 'Countryman's Notes'. He was born in Scotland and he spent his formative years on his grandfather's farm in Wigtownshire, recalled in A Galloway Childhood. He and his wife then lived in Wales and, later, the Chilterns. They had three children.

Synopsis:

Following in the footsteps of the rural engravers Thomas Bewick and Reynolds Stone, Christopher Wormell's work is within the English pastoral tradition. In this collection, the turn of the seasons, the pursuits and rituals which mark each are protrayed in text and illustration. Ian Niall who provides the text is author of "The Poacher's Handbook" and "A Galloway Childhood".
