A pen portrait of a farming life in southern England and in western Canada.
Arthur George Street (1892-1966) was a writer, broadcaster and farmer. Following school, he moved to Canada, farming the land near Winnipeg. Following his return to Britain he took up farming his family's land near Wilton in Wiltshire and turned to writing to supplement his income during the depression of the 1930s, writing many books, all with a strong sense of the local Wiltshire dialect. He later became a broadcaster and wrote a column for Farmers' Weekly for thirty years.
