21st-Century Yokel
21st-Century Yokel explores the way we can be tied inescapably to landscape whether we like it or not often through our family and our past It's not quite a nature book not quite a humour book not quite a family memoir not quite folklore not quite social history not quite a collection of essays but a bit of all six It contains owls badgers ponies beavers otters bats bees scarecrows dogs ghosts Tom's loud and excitable dad and yes even a few cats It's full of Devon's local folklore - the ancient kind and the everyday kind - and provincial places and small things But what emerges from this focus on the small are themes that are broader and bigger and more definitive The book's language is colloquial and easy and its eleven chapters are discursive and wide-ranging rambling even The feel of
the book has a lot in common with the country walks Tom Cox was on when he composed much of it it's bewitched by fresh air intrepid in minor ways haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors restless sometimes foolish and prone to a few detours but it always reaches its intended destination The book is illustrated with Tom's own landscape photographs and linocuts by his mother
