| Book Description | Farmers in my childhood were as anxious for a male heir as any Tudor monarch securing dynastic succession.'A small Cotswold farm is the setting for a classic struggle of wills. Robert Worlock, eccentric and demanding, resolutely maintains the old ways, determined above all to make his son into a farmer fit to take over the family acres. His son, David, is equally determined not to be bullied into something he neither wants nor likes. His childhood becomes a battleground: can he find a way to make his father love him without denying his right to determine his own life?Sometimes heart-rending, sometimes amusing, always elegantly written and deeply honest, this account of a young man finding himself in the most difficult of circumstances deserves to take its place among the great childhood memoirs. |
| About the Author | After taking a History degree at Cambridge, David Worlock became an education publisher with Thomas Nelson, part of the International Thomson Organisation. In the early 1980s, he moved into the digital world and set up Eurolex, one of the UK's first online services. Since 1985, he has advised companies on how the digital marketplace works and how to profit from it. |
