John Craven has been presenting Countryfile since its launch in 1989 and, for the first time, he has distilled all his knowledge and wisdom about country life into The Countryfile Handbook.

How to tell the difference between the swallow, martin and swift
How to learn the various sheepdog calls
The do's and don't's of foraging
How lichen can help tell us how clean the air is
informative essays on rural issues:
Why hedgerows are important
Saving British meadows
Reintroducing beavers
plus useful (and entertaining) facts and figures:
Did you know an acre is the space need to park 200 cars
10 things to do with a stinging nettle
What to do if you see a sheep on its back
Together with stories and anedotes from the programme, this book really will become your Countryfile companion.
