A Horse in the Country by Clive Aslet
Naseby, the site of a different kind of civil war - a war between country folk and newly de-mobbed urbanites in search of - what exactly? Clive Aslet went determined to find out and recorded the results of his year in the country.
'A Horse in the Country offers a genuine social record, sensitively observed, of a village in the process of change -- its farming past eroded, its pub under threat, its teenagers bored and drunkThe endless round of fairs and flower shows, all delightfully reported by Aslet, is, as he remarks, partly a way of asserting a fragile identity.' Caroline Moore, Sunday Telegraph 'Delightful vignettes of modern country life...Aslet is an excellent diarist -- observant, witty and painfully honest, not least about his own low motives for the life-changing move. ' Daily Telegraph
