A Dorset country calendar

Attuned to things around him, a true countryman doesn't miss a trick: a weasel darting across the path, the alarm call of a jay in a nearby wood. Andy Case is such a countryman and his observations of the wildlife, weather, local matters and farming around the Dorset parish of Milton Abbas are reminiscent of a gentler place and time.

Based on his writings for the local parish magazine, Andy shares his love and knowledge of wildlife and the countryside through insightful words and original illustrations.

He calls on the wisdom and common-sense of 'the old men' imparted to him as a boy while growing up on the family farm.

The result is an intimate look at the Dorset countryside through the seasons.
