Rick Stein on Radio 4

This part of the country received more than its usual share of bad publicity over the summer, with all the coverage of Rebekah Brooks and the 'Chipping Norton set', but next week's edition of Radio 4's 'A Good Read' may provide an antidote. Local boy Rick Stein will be talking about one of his favourite books, 'Lifting the Latch': the true story of Mont Abbott, a carter and shepherd who spent his entire life in this small area of West Oxfordshire, and who never did anything in the way of phone-hacking.

('A Good Read' is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 4.30 pm on Tuesday 18 October, and repeated the following Friday at 11 pm. Lifting the Latch is published by Charlbury-based Day Books.)
