Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kingsway Geography Readers for Juniors, Vol. 1: At Work in Britain The British Isles are full of interesting people, things, and places. Some parts of the country are high, some low; some grow wheat, others grow oats; here the land is given up chiefly to Sheep, there to cattle. There are green fields, bare hills and smoky towns. There are rivers that laugh and babble as they tumble down the hillside, others that crawl so Slowly to the sea. The people do not all dress alike, speak alike or eat the same kinds of food. In fact there are so many things to talk about that this little book can hold but a few of them. The most important people are those who pro vide us with food, for without food we should all die in a very Short time. So we will begin our stories of how people live in the British Isles with the lives of those who feed us. We take first some of the fishermen who neither' plough nor sow, but who gather their harvest from the water. To see them at work we go to the North Sea, where herrings, one of the cheapest and best of. Foods, are caught in millions.
