Tales of the Old Country Farmers by Quinn Tom
Step back into the peaceful world of rural life before the advent of mechanisation, in the company of some of our most venerable farmers. Tom Quinn has travelled the length and breadth of Britain to talk to the last generation of men who knew, at first hand, traditions of farming and animal husbandry dating back to Saxon times. It is a timely and important record of a vanishing world. There are stories of runaway horses, winter nights in great candlelit houses, the massive Shire horses of East Anglia, and of farmsteads and hamlets virtually unchanged since Domesday. This book is beautifully illustrated with previously unpublished photographs and specially commissioned watercolour paintings by Philip Murphy.
Tom Quinn has written a number of books about the history of the English countryside, early aviation and WWI. He has edited magazines including The Countryman and is currently editor of Country Landowner magazine. Tom lives in Chiswick.
