Always Work with Children and Animals

In this funny, moving and unique first memoir, John recounts his childhood, the high points and low points of one of the longest entertaining careers in history, and the people, family and animals in his own life which have shaped it. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, John was, to children and parents alike, a friendly guide to the big wide world. And then, for a new audience, in 1989 John presented the first episode of Countryfile - a show that he's now presented for almost three decades.
