All Cheeses Great and Small by Alex James

This is the story of Alex Jamess transition from a leading light of the Britpop movement in the 1990s, to gentleman farmer, artisan cheese-maker and father of five.

‘James’s prose is clean and poeticHis childlike wonder at the simple things – from herons to heaps of rubble – can be infectious’ DAILY TELEGRAPH

‘A joy to read. Prose flows and weaves and curls itself into pleasing rhythms…(Alex James) can write like a god’ SPECTATOR

‘The upbeat tone matches that of his Blur-era autobiography A BIT OF A BLUR, treating his downsize from rock heart-throb to cockerel-throttling country gent as if cheese contests were Britpop orgies. Riding bikes, the smell of berry bushes, piles of cow dung: all brilliant’ NME

Writer, musician and cheesemaker Alex James is best known as the bass player in Blur, a time he chronicled in his acclaimed first book A BIT OF A BLUR.

Alex James lives on a farm in Oxfordshire with his wife and five children. He writes a weekly column on all things food for the SUN, as well a regular column on farm and family life for the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH.
