English Pastoral

Why read it

• You will see why a farmer counts moments of beauty on his land as a real return, even though beauty does not pay the bills
• You will question a world run on industrial efficiency and consumerism, which he says country people were made slaves to
• You will understand how a farming family hands down values, not just land, from grandfather to father to daughter

Who it is for

• Farmers weighing profit against care for their land
• Walkers and city readers who want to understand the countryside
• Parents hoping to pass on a life lived close to the land
