A Peasant's Diary

In this volume Robin Page explores the wilder shores of agriculture and farming practice. He has a deep understanding of rural issues and a great affinity with country ways and traditions, and his descriptions of ice-skating on the Fens or of a gypsy horse fair show how resilient some of these old traditions are. A countryman to the nails of his boots, Robin Page farms in Cambridgeshire. He writes a column for the Daily Telegraph. He has entered the political arena as a Tory candidate and is known as an awkward questioner at political meetings attended by Mr John Selwyn Gummer.
