Isbn 0-9525308-6-4, 0952530864. A Herefordshire Cider Saga. "Of Apples and Serpents" is the story of Tom Beddows, a boy of humble origins, who grew up in a Herefordshire village in the nineteen forties and fifties. It is a remarkable tale of success and failure, and love and hate, in which either coincidence or fate shapes a series of extraordinary events. The ebb and flow of fortune take place against a background of cider-making in rural Herefordshire and the inexorable rhythm of the seasons, at a time when country life was very different from that of today. This Cider Saga is thoroughly recommended to all those who enjoy an exciting story with vivid descriptions of the ever-changing moods of the countryside. The author is well known as a landscape painter and in this, his first novel, he uses an artist's eye to describe in words scenes as evocative as those painted by his brush. Used: Acceptable. Signed by Author.
