description: A brilliant saga of English Country Life, returning to the seven families whose lives are rooted in the green acres of the great farming valley of Shallowford.This time is just at the outbreak of the Second World War, when the valiant pilots of the RAF are locked in combat with the Luftwaffe in teh skies above Devon and England stands imperiled as never before by the dark shadow of Nazi invasion. The hero again is Paul Craddock - older, wiser, but still fiercely dedicated to his land, to his children and grandchildren, to his tenants and to the vanishing way of life they represent.
