Strawberry Roan concerns life in the countryside and has at its heart Strawberry Roan, a cow belonging to Mr. Dibben, the local baker and grocer in Coombe Wallop in Wiltshire. The book follows Strawberry Roan from her calfhood, through her various changes of ownership, to her achievement of renown as a champion milker and her final return to the little farmer who bred her. You will find vivid sketches of the life of the farm, of sport and play, of the humours of the village street and the market town. In the stories themselves there is humour and pathos, and a great searching insight into character.
