This is exceedingly interesting and exceedingly british and I'll probably get a copy of my own just because it has a disparate set of information it would be cool to have around. ( )

This delightful collection of odds and ends of British countryside wisdom make for a perfect read at the end of a long day, by the fireside. Or while drinking tea, or enjoying a glass of wine on the porch while the apple sauce thickens. Short bits of timeless wisdom, some useful (like a handful of recipes for jams and syrups, or lists of the best types of wood to burn in your chimney), other of less practical use (like the rules of fox hunting and where in Britain the practice of cheese rolling is still current). Delightful indeed. ( )
