- 1 Have read
"A quirky, charming and surprising collection from the pages of Country Life magazine A perfectly formed and beautifully presented collection of titbits from the ever-surprising pages of Country Life . Flitting from observations on cheese rolling in Gloucestershire to smuggling silk in Sussex, from Shakespeare's Avon to the vanishing sign language of country tramps-and all by way of a charming rumination on the origins of the simnel cake. Within these lovely pages there will indeed be something for everyone. Classic writing on the idyllic British countryside, Wodehousian ruminations on fishing and golf, and moving accounts of beloved-and unusual-pets. A book to open at any page, and every page will be a revelation. With a highly entertaining blend of expert views and humorous asides, Curious Observations is destined to be one of those truly addictive books"-- Publishers' description.
