| Description: |
Following in the footsteps of Victorian Farm (over 45,000 book sales through Bookscan), Wartime Farm accompanies the must-see 8-part BBC2 television series of the same name. Explore a fascinating chapter in Britain's recent history as we see how our predecessors lived and thrived in difficult conditions with extreme frugality and ingenuity. |
| Synopsis: |
During World War Two Britain had to look to the land to provide the produce it had previously shipped in from abroad, meaning huge changes on both the agricultural and domestic scenes. Accompanying an 8-part BBC series and written by the three presenters who spend a year living on a reconstructed farm from the era, Wartime Farm sets these changes within a historical context and looks at the day-to-day life of that time. Exploring a fascinating chapter in Britain's recent history, we see how our predecessors lived and thrived in difficult conditions with extreme frugality and ingenuity. From growing your own vegetables and keeping chickens in the back yard, to having to 'make do and mend', many of the challenges faced by wartime Britons have resonance today. Fascinating historical detail and atmospheric story-telling make this a truly compelling read. |
