Those of you who enjoyed the BBC series 'Victorian Farm' may like to know that a new version of Henry Stephens's seminal work, 'Book of the Farm' (edited and abridged by Alex Langlands - one of the Victorian Farm presenters) will be available from March 24th.

On the other hand, you may already know/not be interested in the slightest!!!

If you don't want to buy the book you can read it online, or download the whole book on PDF on the link below.
It is the Original book , not the abridged one that Alex Langlands has done.

I might buy that for hubby's birthday. we really enjoyed the programme, having bought an old victorian farm which we are 'doing up' whilst struggling to deal with the land

I swear we are still doing things the same way our former occupants did most days

what i found absolutly fascinating was the farmers back then still had to have another income coming in and it wasnt enough just to run a farm also how the imports were starting to be a big part of life...nothing much has changed
