Life on the Old Farm

A firsthand look at the world of the English countryside—and how drastically it changed during the twentieth century.  Life on the Old Farm takes you back to a time, not so long ago, when country life in Britain followed a pattern that had remained largely unchanged for centuries. In this series of fascinating reminiscences, farmers from all over Britain share their stories and the knowledge of the last generation to experience ways and traditions dating back to Saxon times.  Life on the Old Farm is both nostalgic and informative, with interviews and insights into how things used to be done. It covers a time span from before Edwardian times up to the coming of mechanization after World War II, and is an intriguing read for history buffs or anyone who wants to know more about real life in rural England.  Includes illustrations
