For eighty years Mont Abbott of Enstone lived and worked on the land in Oxfordshire. In this record by Sheila Stewart, Mont 'lifts the latch' and takes us into a forgotten world of roly-poly puddings and street fairs, describing his lost skills of carting and shepherding to the joys of singing in the church choir, and the loyalty of a rural community. "Sheila Stewart spent two years recordingthe memories of Montague 'Mont' Abbott as he sat across from her at the ancient kitchen table at his home in Enstone. It is a countryman's lyrical, unsentimental piece of social history that spans almost the whole of the 20th century....A story to rival Lark Rise to Candleford as a classic of time and place" - The Times
