About this title

Synopsis:

Clarissa's exciting new project will be revealed in a major new eight-part BBC television series this autumn. Clarissa and the exuberant Johnny, her engaging childhood chum, meet and talk to country people about their concerns and pleasures in rural life. This is neither an apologia nor an argument; it is a celebration of the countryside. The book, which follows the unbreakable thread that runs between farming, conservation and field sports, will delight and surprise both those who know the country and those who have lost touch with the harshness, beauty and richness of country life.

Review:
