Description
Woodston: A Biography of an English Farm
A sweeping and lyrical history of one quintessential English farm, tracing its story from the Paleozoic era to the present day. John Lewis-Stempel draws upon his wealth of historical knowledge and innate sense of place to create a passionate biography of farming in England.
Through Woodston's life, we experience the joys of rural life, from oxen ploughing to medieval apple orchards, and the scent of hops on Edwardian air. A celebration of the English countryside and our shared roots that tie us to the land.
