I don't know if this is fiction or a memoir, but either way it is a marvelous fun read.  To me it feels like a memoir and it was written so well that I felt I was there and experiencing it all.  The walks on the moors...the renovations and best of all the dogs.  The descriptions of everything were so well done that you could see, feel, taste and experience the entire adventure.  I laughed out loud so many times that now my husband has said he must read it too.  I tried to read certain passages out loud to him and was mostly successful even though I had to stop frequently and try to control my laughter.  The parts that bring tears to the eye will have to be experienced by himself as I would never have been able to choke a sentence out.  The whole concept of living a simple life is refreshing and certainly makes one think. I deducted one star since a 5 star review is usually assumed to be written by a friend or relative.  I am neither and would recommend this book to everyone.
