Description: (TLDR)
A more complete version of 'So merry let us be' including a list of Somerset cider apple varieties.
On the back of the book it says:
"Somerset and cider are inextricably linked and have been for centuries, although the origins of cidermaking in the county - as in the rest of Britain - are lost in the mists of time. From upper-class beverage to labourers perk to fashionable drink once again, the story of cider is a long and fascinating one. This book covers in depth and with humour the history and techniques of making cider. It also considers the present day passion for collecting and preserving varieties of apples, and the widely shared enthusiasm for a precious and vulnerable aspect of Somerset's traditional landscape and way of life."
