Gentlemans relish: a landowner in the twentieth century world

Edward Evans looks back with relish at eighty-three years of landowning life — its privileges, its problems, and its purpose in a century of international and class conflicts, in which millions still go hungry.

Sometimes intimate, sometimes visionary, always highly readable, he writes about his land and those who live on it, his profession and his participation in some of the formative events of his time.
