Customer Reviews

Endangered Species ( Mr Richard Heygate) - By: B. P. Gulbenkian, 17 Dec 2007
"What a rollicking good read. For everyone who enjoys the countyside & even for those who don't, this is a book full of amusing anecdotes & tales that can be "dipped into" & enjoyed at any time of the day or night.

The passion of the Bart & the Bounder shines through on every page.
It is comforting to know that we still have eccentrics amongst us who have the lust for life of a bygone age"
Endangered Species: The Bart and the Bounder - By: E. M. Walker, 07 Dec 2007
Anybody with an interestin country sports would love this book. The Endangered Species vary from game keepers to poachers & fishermen to vagabonds, but all are described through truly funny anecdotes & stories. One particular endangered species are the coracle fishermen of Wales, who numbered 400 licensed to fish & are now down to 12. The Bart & the Bounders time with them is beautifully described & one wonders how long coracle fishing will survive. The only thing that's missing is some photographs, but perhaps the success of this book will lead to another TV programme for them, & the chance for some still pictures too! Highly recommended.
Frivolity and Reality - By: Miffed Mole, 05 Dec 2007
A deeply engaging book, written by two country lovers with an eye for what is specialin rural life. Under the mutual banter & thanksgiving for the countryside there is a more serious rejection by the authors of the homogenised elements of our consumer society. An excellent Christmas present for those who like good stories & unusual insights into rural life, whether they livein town orin the country. A special present for a fisherperson!
Endangered Species: The Bart and the Bounder's Countryside Year - By: Christopher Roddis, 18 Nov 2007
A funny & interesting book following the exploits of Bart & The bounder, showing them participatingin the rapidly disappearing everyday country pursuits. With each page that you turn it draws you further & further into their adventures, with thoroughly wonderful look at the countryside & the characters that are found there in. A read that I would recommend to one & all.
Endangered Species: The Bart and the Bounder's Countryside Year - By: Andrew West, 18 Nov 2007
Excellent read!!!
A beautiful compositions of the indigenous species called "Country Folk", their lives & their love of our fastly disappearing countryside. During the reading it brought many a smile & laugh following the adventures that Bart & The Bounder encountered. For my self it brought back many happy memories of the tales I had heard as a young child from my Grandfather.

Happy reading everyone!!
