A nostalgic roam through childhood memories of life in the countryside, by some of Britain's most influencial writers, actors, journalists and celebrities. The 50 contributions have been selected from "Country Living Magazine"'s much-loved "Country Childhood" series.

Whether by outstanding writers like Maeve Binchy and Laurie Lee, or by popular public figures like Brian Redhead and Barbara Woodhouse, these "Country Childhood" columns are all fascinating in the way that they provide us with insights into each person's character and later career. There is also great variety: cook Nigel Slater, for example, writes about how he disliked moving to the country when he was young, while the geographical range stretches from Scotland to Cornwall and Ireland to East Anglia. The book also provides an evocative record of 20th-century country life.

Susy Smith is the editor of Country Living Magazine. She spent her childhood in Northern Ireland, and now lives in a converted railway station in Hampshire with her partner and twin daughters. She describes herself as a typical Country Living reader, whose heart has always been in the country.
