Ian Niall's well-known and much-loved 'Countryman's Notes' have appeared as a regular weekly feature in Country Life magazine for over 30 years.This celebration of Niall's vivid portrayal of the countryside around him includes highlights from the last 15 years of the Notes, particularly featuring cottage life in Llandudno in Wales and at the edge of the Chiltern Escarpment in Buckinghamshire,where he has lived for the last three years (then 1987). The Notes include evocative and stimulating glimpses of the rich and varied animal,bird and plant life in and around the author's garden: of the author's frequently-mentioned,beloved cat,Topsy,and of his entertaining ventures into husbandry.There are intimate recollections, too,of the author's childhood in Galloway,and informed comments about the way human activity has affected our natural heritage and contributed to the decline of birds such as the peregrine falcon and the barn owl.The essence of Niall's minute and entertaining observations have been captured in this lovely book.The many fine,specially-commissioned water-colours and charming sketches perfectly complement and enhance the fascinating anecdotes.
