Hidden Valley Av Paul Richardson

<p><b>''A beguiling book about a lifestyle that many of us dream about'' <i>Daily Mail</i></b><br><br>Paul Richardson fled the city to live on the land in a rough-and-tumble village on the edge of Europe. Immersing himself in the culture of his remote Spanish community, he learned the traditional arts of animal husbandry and vegetable growing, wine-making and home distilling, and made bread from the rye he sowed on the stone-walled terraces of his twelve-acre farm. <br><br>In Richardson''s hands, off-grid living both becomes an act of rebellion and a heartening proof that a simpler, better life is possible, if only we can remove ourselves from the ethos in which conspicuous consumption is a duty and success/failure the wheel on which society turns. <br><br><i>Hidden Valley</i> is a glorious narrative of one man''s journey towards self-reliance. Original and thought-provoking, it is also hugely entertaining.</p>
