A Story of Beetlewood is quite simply an extra-ordinary document. There is nothing about it that is ordinary: not the content, not the way it was written, not the way it reads, not the person who wrote it, nor the people about whom and for whom it is written. This book tells a story about care and compassion that reaches the height of human capability and then transcends that. It is about the value and potential of "super efforts". At the same time, it's a manual and a workbook, a source of inspiration, guidance and material for thought for anyone thinking of starting or working in care farming. It is quite simply a "must" for anyone involved in setting up, running, teaching about or making policy about care farming - this is a book written on the basis of extensive experience and from the heart - it deserves to be statutory reading for all those involved in the use of the land for healing and healthcare and much, much more.
