Hovel in the Hills : An Account of "The Simple Life"

This is the story of Elizabeth and Alan West. She was a typist. He was a mechanic. One day they did what many people spend a lifetime of dreaming doing - they took to the hills. Hovel in the Hills is the story of the first nine years of their new life in a semi-derelict farmhouse overlooking Snowdonia. It is an engaging tale that speaks of the pleasures and dilemmas of opting out of the "rat race".
