When Richard Benson was growing up he felt like 'the village idiot with O'levels' - glowing school reports aren't much help when you're trying to help a sow give birth, or drive a power harrow in a straight line without getting half the hedgerow stuck in the tines. He left Yorkshire to work as a journalist in London, but returned when his dad called with the news that they were going to have to sell the family farm, and, in so doing, leave the home and livelihood that the Bensons had worked for generations. This is not only a moving personal account, but also one that reflects a profound change in rural life.

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. The Telegraph described Richard Benson's book The Farm as 'Poignant, enduring, eschews hand-wringing to focus on the resilience and humour of its human subjects.' After 200 years of farming in Yorkshire the Benson family were forced to sell up, having found - as so many others - that big business was wiping out a way of life they had known for generations. This copy is in fine condition. The cover too is in similar condition and still looks crisp and new. The binding is still perfect and all pages are clean and unmarked from beginning to end.
