Publisher's Synopsis
"Neighbours are not chosen, and in ours we have been lucky..." Set mainly in the Oxfordshire village of Church Hanborough, David Green introduces us to a range of delightful characters. Meet Strawberry Jim who, in the face of mockery, established his own profitable farming venture, little Ellen Marcovitch who lives in a caravan, and Johnny Home who tells of his years of service at Blenheim Palace. Green is keen to learn from the older characters in the village, so often taken for granted. From them flows a wisdom that is fast dying out, it comes from their way of living and believing, a rich way of observing life.
