description: During the seventies, Ann Drysdale achieved what most of us can only dream about, creating a world of her own on a dilapidated smallholding high on the North Yorkshire Moors. Here she brought up three children in the company of a variety of eccentric and endearing livestock, walking the breadline like a tightrope and balancing the budget with a series of books and one of Britain's longest-running newspaper columns. By the middle of the boom-and-bust eighties, things had begun to alter. The children were growing up, hill-farming was turning from a life into a cut-throat industry and it seemed as though there was no longer a place in it for an idealistic New Age peasant. Ann Drysdale tells, in her inimitable way, of how she dealt with the sort of change that rumbled inexorably through the idyll, unstoppable as a pig in a passage. Old and new readers will be delighted.
