Publisher's Summary

21st-Century Yokel explores the way we can be tied inescapably to landscape, whether we like it or not, often through our family and our past. It's not quite a nature book, not quite a humour book, not quite a family memoir, not quite folklore, not quite social history, not quite a collection of essays, but a bit of all six. It contains owls, badgers, ponies, beavers, otters, bats, bees, scarecrows, dogs, ghosts and yes, even a few cats. What emerges from this are themes that are broader, bigger and more definitive.

Makes me want to visit

Funny, poignant, heartfelt, and lyrical.
This book is all of the above. I felt transported to times and places I have not experienced for myself but wish I had.

Enjoyable read

An enjoyable, sometimes humorous account of rural life in South-east England. The author does a good job of narration, especially concerning his father.
