<?php echo $title; ?> View Details After The Gardeners Bothy by Arthur Hooper
£8.95 ISBN: 0 9539680 1 4
Arthur Hooper’s experience in the gardeners’ bothy, of which he told in Life in the Gardeners’ Bothy, stood him in good stead when at last he obtained a post as foreman in the glasshouses in a Surrey garden. Arthur was twenty-five and had been married for just two days when he took up his new post and began to climb the career ladder that would lead to his becoming a Head Gardener like his father.

Arthur achieved his ambition of becoming a Head Gardener in 1939, but he was not to enjoy that position for very long because of the activities of a German politician with ambitions of his own. Though he expected to be called up into the services Arthur spent the whole of the Second World War helping his father grow food to feed hospital patients in Salisbury; such work was considered of national importance, and the expected call-up papers never came.

Not until the war was over did Arthur have the opportunity to seek the next rung on the ladder. His career took him to Hertfordshire and then to Tyntesfield in Somerset, now a National Trust property, where he found himself adding market gardening to his other skills. Later he returned to Hertfordshire to become Head Gardener to no less a man than the President of the Royal Horticultural Society.

<?php echo $title; ?> View Details Dear Hal, Yours Pud by Theo Stibbons
£12.95 ISBN: 978 0946148844
When Lord Kitchener famously said, at the beginning of the First World War, “Yours Country Needs You”, the young people of Britain responded with alacrity, little knowing what lay before them. Most were straightforward, determined, adventurous, dutiful, with worried and caring friends, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers.

The young Norfolk soldier, nicknamed Pudlo, featured in this book joined up with his comrades. Throughout his training, his journey to the Front and his time in the line and a long stay in hospital after being injured in the Battle of the Somme he maintains correspondence with home. He deals with the mundane and maintains a humanity not all could cope with. And after the conflict he said nothing to the next generation until his letters were found in a family suitcase ......

<?php echo $title; ?> View Details John Wilson‘s World Of Fishing by John Wilson
£19.95 ISBN: 0 9547778 0 8
World of Fishing reflects John Wilson‘s fishing adventures both at home and abroad, from articles chosen from his columns in The Daly Express and The Sunday Telegraph, ‘Anglers Retreat’ and ‘Gone Fishin’, that cover the best part of a decade.

As a full time angling writer, this volume records John‘s personal ‘world of fishing’ in which he illustrates that he is just as happy centre pin trotting or upstream nymphing for dace and grayling in a southern chalk stream, or scrambling across rapids in pursuit of a big mahseer in southern India, or heaving into a brute of a white sturgeon in front of TV cameras, along Canada‘s mighty Fraser River.

<?php echo $title; ?> View Details Life In The Gardeners Bothy by Arthur Hooper
£8.95 ISBN: 0 9522355 9 5
Born in the Edwardian age, Arthur Hooper never wanted to do anything other than work in the garden and, eventually, to become a Head Gardener like his father. He is a member of probably the last generation to experience life in the gardeners’ bothy, the simple and sometimes primitive building in a corner of the garden of stately homes that housed the unmarried men who worked in the garden.

Some bothies might have been little better than hovels, but the bothy was more than a place in which to live; it was a tiny community with its own strict rules which could never be broken. Arthur’s story is of a community that was, and is, little known to outsiders.

At the age of 91 Arthur has appeared on television speaking of his experiences, and now goes into print with a down-to-earth account of his life in the bothy.

William Winstanley (1628-1698) was an East Anglian, a farmer, journalist and historian - and most of all a man who would not submit to the strictures of the Puritan regime of Oliver Cromwell. His family kept their traditional Christmas and his writings on Yuletide and its customs did more than anything else to revive interest in those customs after the Restoration. Author Alison Barnes illustrates how William Winstanley is the man responsible for the way we celebrate Christmas today.
