PASTORAL SYMPHONY. By Chapman Pincher.

Chapman Pincher is best known as an investigative journalist and writer about spies and intelligence affairs, but his first and abiding love has been for the British countryside. While his professional interests appear to be centred on Whitehall and Westminster, he has always been a self-styled "bumpkin", devoted to country life and country sports. This book is the story of how, while producing an emormous output of news reports, features and books, he managed to achieve his youthful ambition of living as closely as possible, with limited means, the life of a country squire".... including sport with Beaverbrook, Sopwith, Mountbatten, Nickerson.
