About the book >.>.> On the Isle of Wight in the years before the Second World War a small boy discovers a world of inexhaustible fascination. There is Uncle Bill whose skill with horses is not matched by his expertise with cars; Aunt Rose kind and delicate; and Johnnie the sheepdog always faithful and the best of companions. Mysterious machines wayward animals and the baffling world of grown-ups present ?him with a never-ending stream of adventures. This hugely affectionate portrait of a family and a way of life now vanished is both an endearing memoir and a vivid piece of social history recording in detail the work of a livestock farm in the 1930s.
