“One of the great farming books” James Rebanks

First published in 1932, Farmer’s Glory is a warm, humorous and frank account of farming on both sides of the Atlantic. Written in unpretentious prose, the book details the joys and hardships of an agricultural life undergoing significant change at the beginning of the twentieth century. This edition includes the original wood engravings by Gwen Raverat and a new introduction by James Rebanks, bestselling author of The Shepherd’s Life.

Then my eye was drawn to a book I’d never seen before: Farmer’s Glory, by A. G. Street.
