Description
Ever since Aldous Jones careened over the handlebars of his bicycle in 1955 and landed next to Farmer Evans’s first field, it has become a tradition for him to take his family camping in Wales. Aldous has started to feel that a certain symbiosis has developed between their North London home and the Welsh village that they only ever see in August. As the years pass, Aldous’s family idyll starts to disintegrate and the farm becomes a place drenched in memory.
