Country Reporter by D Frost
David Foot, alias Matthew Fouracre, joined the "Western Gazette" in Yeovil as a copy boy in 1946. This book recounts his story, growing up in the beautiful Somerset countryside and embarking on a new career at a time of great political and social change, as Britain struggled to get back on its feet after six years of war. The book covers the first two years of Matthew's professional life, in which he makes the grade as a reporter, cycling hundreds of miles on his three-speed racer to cover stories on practically every aspect of rural life including, with some foresight, interviews with two future prime ministers.
David Foot is a retired professional forester and was a Forestry Commissioner from 1986 to 1999. He has also been a Trustee of the Woodland Trust and contributed a chapter to People & Woods in Scotland: A History.
