Product Description
The highly successful Clarissa and the Countryman linked farming, field sports and conservation. Clarissa and Johnny's new book develops this theme further to the interdependency between rural communities and urban employment. The indomitable duo will be looking at all sorts of country businesses and cottage industries: saddlery, gun-smithing, boot-making, wicker and tweed; and at environmental schemes such as woodland regeneration and predator control. Clarissa and Johnny will also take to the saddle as they embrace an even wider swathe of rural pursuits.

Excellent Followup February 18, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The followup to "Clarissa and The Countryman" and the companion book to the second installment of the BBC television series is as enjoyable as the first. Once again Ms. Wright and Sir Scott provide a very personal glimpse into the tradtional English country way of life. The book carries with it the dry humor and robust love of life that Ms. Wright is known for, along with Sir Scott's prodigious and intimate understanding of the natural cycles of life that only a true countryman can posess.Unfortunately, as a result of this book and series Ms. Wright and Sir Scott have come under fire (including death threats in Ms. Wright's case) for their stewardship and love of the planet and its ecology by shortsighted, over-zealous, and un-informed so-called "Animal Rights Activists". Some of this is dealt with in the book, and stands in stark contrast to the otherwise light nature of this read. My hat is off again to these brave authors, and as I said in my review of the previous book --- Hey, BBC!! Throw us Yanks a bone and air this series on BBC America!
