This is another entry in a series of books about the inhabitants of Bruton-Under-the-Water, a small village in England, post World War II, and the surrounding area. We come to know and care for the people, their sorrows and triumphs, and the animals, both wild and domesticated, that live in close proximity.

A keeper, and highly recommended. ( )

This is a funny, lovely, nostalgic, wonderful book about the Shire Horses bred in a small English village. Great reading for those interested in the English countryside, preservation of communities not just buildings, and a rural way of life, great reading for horse lovers and those who grew up or still live in the country themselves . . . you will recognize many of the personalities in this book even though they are an ocean and a generation or two away !
