Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Rolling hills…green pastures…endless peace: these and other cozy images are what come to mind when we think about the countryside. All very true, yet there exist so many surprising nuggets of information on the subject. From dry stone walls to sheep dip, here's the rural scene, past and present.

Ever wonder what happens to the 36,000 tennis balls used at the annual Wimbledon championships? Or what was on the menu at Henry IV's coronation? Would you like to know how to master the Japanese art of packing a rucksack? Or how to say hello in 20 different languages? The delightfully eclectic, exceedingly collectable Companion Series volumes are bursting with useful trivia and quirky facts to amuse and amaze. Pleasingly designed, eminently browsable, downright addictive.
