WELSH FARMLET
A PLOUGH ON THE MOUNTAIN, Dy Lawrence Morgan; Odhams Press, through Whitcombe and Tombs, 12/6. HIS sort of book seems to command a ready sale in England-the "back to the land" sort. Well, that’s a good thing. You like the country and you like writing; so you buy a bit of land, derelict for preference; with an old house, more or less derelict too for preference. Then you proceed to show how the farm can be restored, and how the good life may be lived on the nuttiest of bread, and the creamiest of butter, and the freshest of fruit and vegetables-all with due respect for the soil. Well, that’s a good thing, too. a Mr. Morgan, whose farmlet is in the Welsh hills, has had the advantage of sound training in agriculture and good practical experience. He knows what he is doing and why (though astray in his one reference to New Zealand). Yes, there’s a nice little minor romance; the maior one is obviously being kept for
another book.
