Preston: Farming Books and Videos Ltd., 2006. . 1st edn. Roy. 8vo pp. 256 (+ pls). Cloth, 16 b/w plates (32 photos). New hardback book with dust jacket. (A revealing and often surprising biography of one of the most unlikely of cult figures, Jack Hargreaves. Jack inspired a whole generation with his weekly television programme 'Out of Town', first broadcast in 1960 and so successful, it ran for a further twenty two years. Jack, with his shed, hat, pipe and whiskers, became a household name and he introduced, in his gentle tones, many a townie to country life and crafts such as the delights of fly fishing, wattle hurdles and cider making. But Jack was far more than Out of Town and Out of Town was far more than Jack and this is the story of both. This frank and affectionate biography draws upon both private and public material and includes much hitherto unpublished writings by Jack. It paints a portrait of Jack, as much of a complex character off-screen as he was the 'Countryman's Countryman' on it, as seen by those who worked with him both on and off the TV set. It discusses his loves, his children and the important influences that made him not only the 'Patron Saint of Sheds' and several times winner of 'Pipe Smoker of the Year', but everyone's window into a country world that had all but vanished). . more information
