Riassunto

The Townies' Guide to the Countryside is packed with facts and information about all aspects of rural Britain, presented in a clear and helpful way. It is aimed at city dwellers who visit the countryside on holiday or for recreation and who would like to know more about what they see; and at the increasing numbers who are moving from urban centres into villages and market towns and who want to understand more about the countryside. But it is also packed with information which will surprise and inform even the farmer and the villager. Jill Mason, who has worked as a gamekeeper for over thirty years, describes briefly but comprehensively, every aspect of the countryside that she can think of, in a friendly, easy-to-read style, giving clear facts on hundreds of topics. Her book is backed up with a glossary of terms, facts and figures for each fascinating chapter. A highly informative book.
