The Countryman: Sets Forth Again by Johnny Scott

The Countryman: Sets Forth Again by Johnny Scott

Model Number: 9781846893827

£20.00 GBP

The Countryman Sets Forth Again is a wonderful compilation of articles covering a range of eclectic rural and countryside subjects. There is something for everyone to discover from the ancient language of field sports to the treasures to be found in old barns; the history of the landscape to dryland husky racing and much more.

Divided into seasonal sections and featuring more than forty-five chapters, many of the articles have appeared in The Field magazine. Here are all aspects of country life described in vivid detail, from the flora and fauna to the folklore.  Descriptions of ancient customs feature alongside accounts of pigeon racing and hound trailing; and stories of exotic plant hunters from past centuries.  Readers will encounter mad March hares, owls, ravens, bats, pike, eels, and the rare capercaillie.  Other subjects include coppicing, ancient trees, hanging game, stoats, terriers and, that perennial British favourite, the weather.  The author also takes us back to his childhood with memories of charcoal burners and of harvesting wild food.

Combining his engaging writing, expert insight and immense knowledge, Johnny Scott is a master at celebrating and chronicling the countryside.  In this book he continues to convey his wisdom and affection for the magic of nature and rural life.
