'The Pheasant's Revolt' : Another Good Read!


I'm currently just over halfway through reading this funny account of author Brian Viner's life at Docklow Grange in Herefordshire. Having moved from London with his family to savour life in the country he tells the tales of bouquets, brickbats and horror stories of all that awaits the unsuspecting city dweller who, for reasons that remain unfathomable to many, decides to up sticks and move to --- well, the sticks!

Lots of laughs throughout this book, and it's a good bedtime read because it entertains without being too taxing. I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour or equally to anyone who wishes to develop a sense of humour.

Why not buy it and try it! You won't be sorry.

For the more bookish amongst you who like all the gory detail needed to purchase, here it is:
Author: Brian Viner : Publisher: Simon & Schuster : Title: The Pheasant's Revolt (More Tales of the Country) : ISBN: 978-0-7432-9584-0 : Price: £12.99 (or less if, like me, you are lucky!)
