Description:

SUMMARY: Chris Stewart shot to fame with "Driving Over Lemons" in 1999. Funny, insightful and real, the book told the story of how he bought a peasant farm on the wrong side of the river, with its previous owner still a resident. It became an international bestseller, along with its sequels – "A Parrot in the Pepper Tree," and "The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society."In an earlier life, Chris was the original drummer in Genesis (he played on the first album), then joined a circus, learned how to shear sheep, went to China to write the Rough Guide, gained a pilot’s license in Los Angeles, and completed a course in French cooking.
