Description
In perfect lyrical satire, Pam Ayres highlights the undercurrents simmering in the rolling fields and babbling brooks of the countryside.
There is unrest, hidden beyond the bluebell woods and patchwork fields - 'Maybe the polluters will purify our streams. Purify our waterways? In your bloomin' dreams!'.
We meet the angry fishermen who can't afford to live in their own villages, the indignant farmers who get the blame for everything and the old man grieving for the unspoilt village of his youth. The animals have their say too, from the persecuted grey squirrel who didn't want to leave America anyway, the barn owl mourning his now-converted ancient barn, and the humble maligned mole, all of whom come together and demand to know: Who Are You Calling Vermin?
