"Delightful compendium of country lore [comprising] articles selected from the celebrated 1950's magazine of the open air Country Fair. Written by many leading experts in their fields, these will provide answers to all your questions - and to many more you didn't even realise you deeded to ask. ...From how to understand the behaviour of rooks to how to clean a shotgun, from how to prune roses to how to deal with moles, from how to make a rock garden to culinary approaches to salmon and rabbit, and much much more". Country Fair: The Month by Month Countryside Companion by Macdonald Hastings confusingly shares its main title with Country Fair: Tales of the Countryside, Shooting and Fishing by Max Hastings, published in 2005. They are however, completely different books.
