Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Red cloth covered hardcover with gilt lettering to the spine. Dust jacket has a 1.2 cm closed tear to the upper right corner and has been put in a clear protective sleeve. First 10 pages has faint toning around the edge but does but does not affect the text. Clean text free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (6 x 1.3 x 9.25 inches) 256 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Author Jamie Blackett arrives home from the Army to take over a small family estate on the Solway Firth in Dumfries and Galloway and finds a rapidly changing countryside. In a humorous and occasionally moving tale he describes how he grapples with the intricacies of farming, conservation, and estate management and tells the story of founding a pack of foxhounds and a herd of pedigree beef cattle. Part childhood memoir, part biopic of rural life, readers are transported to a remote and beautiful part of Scotland and acquainted with its wildlife, its people, and its peccadilloes. One minute he is unblocking his septic tank, the next minute he is watching Glenn Close film a sex scene in his bedroom. Set over the first two decades of the 21st century through the Scottish independence referendum, Brexit, and the hunting ban, the result is a tour d'horizon of the challenges threatening a vulnerable way of life and an emerging rural philosophy about the directions Scotland, farming, and the countryside might take in the brave new world of Brexit.…
