About this listen

21st-Century Yokel explores the way we can be tied inescapably to landscape, whether we like it or not, often through our family and our past. It's not quite a nature book, not quite a humour book, not quite a family memoir, not quite folklore, not quite social history, not quite a collection of essays, but a bit of all six. It contains owls, badgers, ponies, beavers, otters, bats, bees, scarecrows, dogs, ghosts and yes, even a few cats. What emerges from this are themes that are broader, bigger and more definitive.

Tom Cox is funny and charming both as a writer and as narrator. A modern Laurie Lee with a bit of swearing thrown in.

Love it

It really added to my enjoyment of the book that Tom Cox narrated it himself. I find him very likeable. Have read all of his 'cat' books previously and this one was no less amusing. Would recommend.

A nice gentle trundle through the authors mind. Funny, poignant and thought provoking in equal measure. Recommended.
