Robin Stanes is an acknowledged expert on the traditions of farming & farm life in the westcountry. It is almost twenty years since the publication of his book Old Farm which quickly became a classic, & sadly has been out of print for many years. In his new work, the author has revised the original text of his earlier book & enhanced it with the inclusion of 150 historic photogrpahs. Text & photographs together create a truly fascinating study of a way of life on the land that has now almost completely disappeared. Horse power & traditions that are centuries old are here recalled & described in detail. All who have had any connection with farming, or who have an interest in our agricultural past, will fail not to be absorbed by this evocative book.

The Author, Robin Stanes, once a farmer himself, has devoted much of his life to the study of farming in the westcountry, publishing many academic & learned papers on the subject. His work is held in high regards both by fellow historians & by those who themselves have been farmers. He now lives in Honiton. ...
