As Sergeant Jim Bergerac on BBC TV, John Nettles has helped to make the island of Jersey familiar to over 14 million viewers. Here he offers a personal view of the island where he now lives, and reveals the hidden Jersey, away from the usual tourist beat. The book provides a guide to the twelve ancient parishes, beginning with the author's home village of St Brelade, and introduces many of the houses and gardens featured in the Bergerac series of over 60 episodes.
