Format:Paperback
This is a most readable book. It is not quite an autobiography, more an account of the interaction between the author and a county he's come to love, and the way he feels about its people. I found I did not want to put it down, and it didn't last me nearly as long as I'd expected.
This is a book to read, give away to others, and keep for ever.
