VALEWIDE
Story of the Priddles journey to south Wales
This book is far more than just one person's family history. It looks at the social conditions that existed and huge changes that were taking place in Britain during the nineteenth Century.
It's not the quaint Victorian England chocolate box story, but the harsh reality of life for farm workers in Somerset during this period. Myths, legends and tradition are interwoven with one family's struggle to survive during these times of enormous change. The Meeting of Dragons also looks at how a range of circumstance and industrial developments brought about mass migration from Somerset to south Wales that has affected the social make up of these lands to the present day.
Bob Priddle is a college lecturer and has
had numerous articles connected with
horticulture. He has also written the
biography of the landscape architect
Ralph Hancock for the Oxford
Dictionary of National Biography.
As well as writing, Bob is a popular
public speaker, speaking on subjects as
varied as gardening, goal setting and
the history of the American west.
Bob is also Vale Life's resident garden expert.
