Chronicles of a Norfolk Farmer

Covering Williamson's last months at Shallowford in Devon, the family's move to a derelict farm in North Norfolk, the difficulties encountered by a total beginner to farming – including the disastrous crash in the price of barley in 1938 – and the opening months of the Second World War, these 45 articles written by Henry Williamson (author of Tarka the Otter and Salar the Salmon) for the Daily Express between 1937 and 1939 form a fascinating contemporary record of those times. Ten million Daily Express readers enjoyed them then – now you can join them. Also included are four of Williamson's's classic short stories, set in the North Devon countryside.
