James Raimes, born in York, now gardens on nine acres in upstate New York. Intrgued by the nature of gardening, and by the differences in gardening practicen the two countries, he finds himself obsessed with such questions as why gardners keep moving plants around, what the names of the lawn grasses are and howan one impose order in a garden and at the same time make it look natural. Wht, in fact, defines a garden?;'Gardening for me is always looking and learning It's bringing memories of England, where I grew up, to plans for the future.t's seeing a fawn not as Bambi but as the enemy, seeing Picasso and Braque in winter landscape and Dylan Thomas in the colours of summer. It's sitting at aesk with a drink in the evening, making lists. It's meditating on the effectf time on place.'

The Parisien now wants to be a paysan, but it's easier said than done . . . How do you plant leeks in cement-hard French soil, impress Gallic neighbours with your non-existent gardening credentials and survive a seven-hour celebratory communion lunch (followed by dinner)? What skills are required to cope with suicidal French mice (souricide?), resist the advances of an attractive but desperate lady cheese-maker during an English lesson, buy wine from Mr Grump the grower, and -- last but not least -- stoop so low as to snap up the plastic trophy in the annual garden competition? AN ENGLISHMAN A LA CAMPAGNE is a wonderfully warm and witty follow-up to the author's account of his first year living in Paris. Now broadening his affectionate embrace to include the myriad facets of the French countryside, Sadler makes you laugh, makes you think, and makes you love the place . . . even Donges, which won first prize in his competition for the grottiest village in France.
