Description:
This is the true story of Thomas Firbank who, in 1933 purchased a 2,400 acre farm in the shadow of Snowdon, consisting of rock, thin soil, high winds and rainfall. He was 21, newly arrived from Canada and with no experience of farming. For the next seven years Thomas and his wife Esme farmed Dyffryn with dedication and energy, succeeding, against the odds, in winning the respect of their farm-servants and neighbours. Having built up a healthy stock of 3,000 sheep, they made improvements to the house and then rented more land... "Vitally convincing and exhilerating..." - Observer
