Description: For centuries the Fens have been the scene of a struggle beteen man and water. man has become the victor by harnessing the water and has wrested from it the most fertile tract of land In England. But away in the southeast corner of the Fens was an area which, having been first drained a hundred years ago, had since been allowed, through neglect to revert to something appraoching its original state. The land was dug for turf, and local drainage bodies were unable to remedy the harm done. there were farms, though, where the plough carried on, but against ever increasing odds. One of these was bought by the author, who soon found the effiient farming was well-nigh impossible.
