The Countryside Companion.

Hardback. Tiny tear to top edge of D/J. Introduction by Robert Hardy. Many people today feel the need to rediscover traditional values and simple pleasures, exemplified in the popular mind by those of the countryside. Although it has undergone sweeping changes in recent decades, country life in the British Isles retains an unmistakable identity. Its practices and customs echo traditions that are enormously rich and diverse. These ageless traditions are reflected in the pages of this book, conveniently divided into three sections: the land, its flora and fauna; portraits of country people; and the manifold aspect of country living. A total of seventy illustrations adorn the text. Illustrated. 224 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
