Canterbury Tails by Chris Gilberd is a romp through one man's smallholding and indeed one man's vision of the Good Life, with a fair dollop of antipodean humour and a few other squishy bits along the way. Unexpectedly relieved of his business career, the author is launched into his long-held dream of running his own smallholding, his own livelihood and his own life, all with rather undue haste. Canterbury Tails is an account of the challenges that he encounters along the way, the highs and lows, the very special moments and the unique shared experiences that he has with his animals, the landscape, nature in general and the many visitors welcomed to their rare breeds farm over the years. Canterbury Tails is a great lifestyle read, perfect for your holiday or for cosy evenings by the fire. The author's tale is told with candour and humour and will cause you to shed a tear and laugh out loud in equal measure; all in all, a great read.
