A Good Year for Blossom by Martin Wainwright
Country gentlemen, bird-watching vicars and farmers have traditionally been the chroniclers of the British countryside. This book introduces a very different point of view. We see the changing seasons - and the 20th century revolution in the long-settled ways of rural life - through the sharp eyes of ten exceptional women including a leading suffragette, a classical scholar, an artist with her own large farm and a climber's daughter who turned to writing when her children grew up and left home.
Martin Wainwright, who has edited three previous collections of 'Guardian' Country Diaries, contributes lively biographies of the writers and an analysis of the talents which each brought to her work.
