About this listen

21st-Century Yokel explores the way we can be tied inescapably to landscape, whether we like it or not, often through our family and our past. It's not quite a nature book, not quite a humour book, not quite a family memoir, not quite folklore, not quite social history, not quite a collection of essays, but a bit of all six. It contains owls, badgers, ponies, beavers, otters, bats, bees, scarecrows, dogs, ghosts and yes, even a few cats. What emerges from this are themes that are broader, bigger and more definitive.

This book is all of the above. I felt transported to times and places I have not experienced for myself but wish I had.

An enjoyable, sometimes humorous account of rural life in South-east England. The author does a good job of narration, especially concerning his father.
