About this product

Product Information

This is the story of Alex James's transition from a leading light of the Britpop movement in the 1990s, to gentleman farmer, artisan cheese-maker and father of five. ALL CHEESES GREAT AND SMALL is the follow-up memoir to Alex James's first book, BIT OF A BLUR, the story of his excessive pop star lifestyle during the nineties. But now Alex has grown up, fallen in love and got married. He has also fallen passionately for his new home, an enormous rambling farmhouse in the Cotswolds, set in two hundred acres of beautiful British countryside. The farm represents not just a new house for Alex, but also a new career. As he breathes new life into the old farm he chances across an unexpected calling: making cheese. His cheeses, Blue Monday, Farleigh Wallop and Little Wallop have received widespread media interest and are now sold through many outlets. The story culminates with an account of the triumphant reformation of Blur for Glastonbury 2009.

    I read this book twice before returning it to the library. Then I thought maybe I should own a copy! Alex takes so much pleasure from life, and he puts it over so we can share that pleasure. Very few books read so easily, and tread so lightly through so many activities. I was never bored, and feel as though I know the author well. He seems like my sort of person, doing the sort of things, and getting into the sort of scrapes that I would - given a few bob more than I've got! And he doesn't hesitate to get into things that I would like to - if I was brave enough. For me, a really good read. I think I'll go and start it again!
