Overview

With an ensemble of colourful characters and events both comic and tragic, as well as first-hand accounts of the manifold changes to farming practices, The Glimmering Landscape is an affectionate account of growing up on a Yorkshire farm and presents a fascinating glimpse into an all but lost rural world. Spanning the 1940s, when the country's farming communities turned their attention to wartime food production, through to the 50s and 60s, a period which saw a rapid modernisation process to many traditional farming methods, Michael Iveson provides a unique insight into life on a Dales' farm. In his own inimitable style, he recounts the stories of an ever-changing landscape and the stalwart rural folk who helped shape it; people who seldom had the power to prevent some of the more unwelcome by-products of progress. With warmth and humour, Iveson looks back fondly at a distinctive, never to be seen again era, with an underlying message that change is not always for the better.
