Alternately funny, inspiring, heart-breaking, and fascinating. Vashti's story is a must-read for anyone who enjoys her music - and as a story of a life well-lived it's a fascinating read even if you've never heard of her before.

This is really rather special. The tale of a moor, and how it's affected by the people around it, tales of people living near a moor over generations, and the story of an album and how it echoes through years?
"Villager" is all of these and more. It's a remarkable dance through time, a series of stories focused around the village of Underhill, it's inhabitants, and a lost cult folk album.
I can't recommend this highly enough. There's nothing else quite it like around, although there are notes of Alan Garner. Thoroughly readable and immersive. Quite excellent.
Part ecological study, and part autobiography, this is a beautiful, heartfelt, vital book.
Essential.
Beautiful!
