Countryfile

Enjoy a year in the British countryside with a delightful, month-by-month treasury of human activities and natural splendours which take place across the twelve months of the year. From spotting fauna and enjoying traditional regional foods; to the history of hay meadows, where to spot glow worms and the joy of local dialects. Drawn from the archives of BBC ‘Countryfile’ magazine, the book weaves together fascinating articles, stories and interviews charting the farming year, seasonal crafts, wildlife highlights, and ideas for making the most of the great British countryside throughout the year. Arranged from January to December, discover notes on weather, star-gazing, rural issues, country folk, and much more. All accompanied by spectacular colour photographs capturing natural wonders and evoking the gentle atmosphere of favourite rural moments, from wildflowers popping up in country verges, to lambing season, and migrating birds and insects. Selected and introduced by John Craven (b.1940), the long-serving presenter of BBC’s ‘Countryfile’ television programme, first broadcast in 1988.
