From 1932 to his death in 1943, George Bramwell Evens captivated audiences up to 13 million with his BBC Children's Hour programme, OUT WITH ROMANY.  His deep, soothing voice transported listeners everywhere on countryside walks, observing animals and plants alike.  Not only a radio voice, he also wrote weekly articles for several papers, for 23 years in some cases. In A ROMANY IN THE COUNTRY, he shares his knowledge of nature lore - how animals communicate, the lengths to which birds go to build their nests and the marvels of ears - as well as the friends he meets in the lanes and fields.  There is Ned, the old postman, a philosopher and poet; Alan and Joe, large-hearted generous farmers; and Jerry and John, the poacher and gamekeeper who hold each other in mutual respect.  This is an enlightening read from the nation's first Natural History broadcaster.

Another collection of memoirs from George Bramwell Evens, the Romany of the BBC's OUT WITH ROMANY, always most at home in the outdoors, in his little tent or his horse-drawn caravan. Accompanying Romany and Raq on their rambles, we share the sights, smells and noises of the country. We learn of the mysteries of squirrels - God's unpaid gardeners, unknowing sowers of beauty - and of the spider's family problems, sending off her babies like parachutists into the big wide world. Romany also introduces us to old friends: Alan and Joe, the farmers; Jerry, the poacher and Sally Stordy, only too pleased to stop her housework to give Romany and Raq a cup of tea and a slice of her blackberry-and-apple plate-cake.
