21st Century Yokel (Unabridged ed)

21st-Century Yokel explores the way we can be tied inescapably to landscape, whether we like it or not, often through our family and our past.

It's not quite a nature book, not quite a humour book, not quite a family memoir, not quite folklore, not quite social history, not quite a collection of essays, but a bit of all seven.

It contains owls, badgers, ponies, beavers, otters, bats, bees, scarecrows, dogs, ghosts and yes, even a few cats.

What emerges from this are themes that are broader, bigger and more definitive.
