Country Reporter by David Foot (Hardcover, 1990)

David Foot, alias Matthew Fouracre, joined the Western Gazette in Yeovil as a copy boy in 1946. This book recounts his story, growing up in the beautiful Somerset countryside and embarking on a new career at a time of great political and social change, as Britain struggled to get back on its feet after six years of war. The book covers the first two years of Matthew's professional life, in which he makes the grade as a reporter, cycling hundreds of miles on his three-speed racer to cover stories on practically every aspect of rural life including, with some foresight, interviews with two future prime ministers.\n\nWe are sure that you will be delighted with your purchase.\n\nHowever, in the event that an issue may arise, please do not hesitate to contact us before leaving negative feedback, as we will always look to resolve any issues for you.\n\nAs the items we sell are in a used condition, we pride ourselves on grading them as accurately as possible.\n\nAs an added quality check,.
