Cider - The Forgotten Miracle is a witty,
energetic and unforgettable investigation into the history of
farmhouse cider. A fresh assessment of ancient traditions that
have not only influenced the landscape for the better, but produced
excellent cider into the bargain. Not surprisingly these myths,
superstitions and anecdotes revolve around farms and farmers.
This fascinating story set against the backdrop of 17th and
18th Century England is told with humour and clarity. It also
involves a vivid description of working at Burrow Hill Cider
Farm and charts the early days of the Somerset
Cider Brandy Company.
