A Gloucestershire Notebook by Humphrey Phelps

A Gloucestershire Notebook by Humphrey Phelps

Humphrey Phelps farmed in west Gloucestershire, near to the Forest of Dean, for most of his life, as did his father and his grandfather before him. He has seen farming change from the days when much of the work on a farm was done by manual labour and before it became overly mechanised and industrialised. In this collection of articles, which he wrote for various newspapers and magazines, such as The Countryman and Gloucestershire & Avon Life, he looks at how farming has changed over the years, for better and for worse, and laments the passing of some of its more traditional aspects in the name of 'progress'. Written in an engaging style and with a genuine affection for his subject, this is charming selection of musings and anecdotes, interwoven with serious analysis of the state of the countryside and farming that will appeal to all who love Gloucestershire and rural life.

Phelps, Humphrey: - Humphrey Phelps is a prolific Gloucestershire author who has written many much-loved books about rural life and the Forest of Dean. He lives in Westbury on Severn in the Forest of Dean.
