First edition, first printing. When Lucy Pinney arrived in the lush Dorset countryside 30years ago she was newly married, very enthusiastic and charmingly naive. After a bucolic love-affair worthy of a Thomas Hardy novel, Lucy launched herself into pig keeping, cake baking and lamb rearing with gusto. But nothing had prepared her for the essential oddness and precariousness of rural life. The book is a funny, honest and affectionate memoir of a life spent learning to know and love the countryside and those who live off the land. NOT EX LIB 23. Fine/Fine.
