Tales from the Heart of the Country - Tony Francis

The book is based on the hit ITV series Heart of the Country, which began back in 1988. Now, its presenter from the very start, Tony Francis, has collected together over 40 of his favourite stories featured on the show down the years.

This is his personal take on the life and people who make up the English Countryside today.

Amongst the highlights is the tale of a family Labrador who ran away from home and lived on his wits in the wild - for seven years, the twitcher who left his own wedding reception, and bride, to catch sight of a rare bird and the man who literally dug his own grave in the parish churchyard!

Illustrated throughout with full colour photography, Tales from Heart of the Country brings together the weird, wonderful, curious and even curiouser of the English Countryside today.
