A history of the Sheppy family and their cidermaking going back over 200 years with plenty of photographs.

On the back of the book it says:
"Sheppy. The name is synonymous with good quality cider throughout Somerset and beyond. This revealing book brings to life the Sheppy family over the past 200 years. It traces the ups and downs of the family fortunes from their beginnings at Iwood, Conglesbury to Three Bridges Farm near Taunton.
Lavishly illustrated with photographs, 'The Sheppys' tells the story of a disastrous fire, how a record-breaking trout came to be 'fried' in as Gun Shop, the world-famous Model Maid and how gold Medal winning cider was imbibed by two Prime Ministers.
A fascinating book which should be enjoyed together with a glass of Sheppy's cider."
