A Year On A Dairy Farm

A Year On A Dairy Farm by Richard Cornock

This is a real treat and a gem of a book. The photography is excellent, providing a journalistic view of life on the farm. What comes over particularly well is the feeling of the seasons. You feel cold reading the winter sections, while the ones in the middle of the year are evocative of long, lazy summer evenings.

I think what is particularly special about this book is that it will go down as a slice of real history, and people who read it in years to come will have a true feeling of what life was like in the early years of this century in rural Gloucestershire.
