The Field Book of Country Queries

New paperback edition - Jonathan Young, Editor of The Field, says: 'Field readers always have the solution to a problem, whether it's a pattern for kiltsocks (Patons No 3285) or clearing out a vacuum flask (bicarbonate of soda) and they have always been more than forthcoming with robust advice.' A vast range of subjects is covered.

''This is a charming book of questions and answers from the readers and columnists of The Field, illustrated by Kerry Lemon. It brings together the most practical information and solutions for every household.''

‘This book is the creation of Field readers, whose appetite for knowledge and enthusiasm in sharing it has sustained the magazine for more than 150 years. The result is indispensable to everyone who faces the daily challenges of living in a country house.’ Jonathan Young, Editor (1991–2020)

Field readers always have the solution to a problem, whether it’s a pattern for kiltsocks (Patons No 3285) or clearing out a vacuum flask (bicarb of soda) and they have always been more than forthcoming with robust advice; you should not perhaps ask a Field reader for the best way to cure a sick guinea pig.

Help is at hand in this charming and invaluable potpourri of questions from the readers of The Field with answers from their knowledgeable columnists. A vast range of subjects is covered from household to garden; sporting lore to legal; animals to natural history and, when the going gets tough, how to make a tipple of beech leaf gin.

Meticulously edited to bring together the most practical and intriguing selection of useful information and solutions which will become a little gem in every household. Quirky illustrations throughout by Kerry Lemon will make this book an ideal gift.
