The World According to Kaleb: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - worldly wisdom from the breakout star of Clarkson’s Farm

Product Information

I get a nosebleed going to Oxford but I’ve learned that clears up quite quickly and it doesn’t happen again. The only problem is when I’m on a tractor and reading a book and I’m being loaded, for example, and the loader drivers beep at me because I’m not moving anywhere. I was writing this second book and I thought, I’m missing out on some of the most amazing places such as Scotland and Wales. To reinforce the piss-take, this children’s-book-for-adults is illustrated with random photographs and illustrations with clever captions that one suspects are contributed by the bright young things at his publisher, especially the ones in Latin.

I love farming, but as in 'watching it from my sofa under a blanket', so hearing about how hard he's worked and what he's acheived already is astonishing. Chipping Norton's celebrity farmer Kaleb Cooper has strong views on lots of things: sheep ('stupid'), Jeremy Clarkson ('f***ing idiot'), goats ('they're a proper good clear-up animal, they eat everything - no wonder they taste horrible'), New York ('if it's like London, where there are no tractors, that's no good') and more.

Cooper’s second book, Britain According To Kaleb: The Wonderful World of Country Life, explores some of the weirdest traditions from around Britain – including cheese rolling in Gloucestershire and the wife-carrying race from Surrey.Utterly hilarious, Kaleb reveals his true down-to-earth, loveable and funny side, with gags aplenty and many unique observations you will be crying with laughter. Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star from ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ (aka the one who did the actual farming) discusses all angles of life, from cities to sports; celebrities to parties. I thought, I can make a business out of this, and I sold the chicken eggs and paid back my food costs, and paid myself a wage, and that’s how I started. He has “zero interest in any drug that isn’t cider” and while others of his generation are gluing themselves to pavements and moaning about the debts they have accrued in acquiring their ’ology degrees, Kaleb has quietly been eschewing academe to pursue the British rural dream, and make a fortune in the process.

This book is an enjoyable romp through the countryside, as seen through the eyes of a country boy, laying bare all the good and bad moments of life. He is generous in his acknowledgement of the mentors who have helped him on his way – the farmer who paid for expensive repairs to Kaleb’s first tractor to avoid disaster, and most recently to Jeremy Clarkson, who has turned him into a star. In this follow-up, Kaleb casts his focus closer to home to examine what people like to get up to in the great outdoors. The best chapters are on farming, where his passion shines alongside a reliably authentic aversion to Countryfile, gallows humour about the dangers of farm work (he had three ribs broken by a bull) and perceptive observations about farm animals and their quirks.

Getting into farming… it was really hard and I was very lucky to have that one farmer go yeah, do you want a job?

In his smash-hit debut The World According to Kaleb, we learnt how Kaleb feels about everything from existentialism to comb-overs, and why he doesn’t want to visit the Mediterranean. The book (which is evidently ghost-written) plays endlessly on this portrayal, delivering Kaleb's views on a riveting range of topics from philosophy to celebrities to haircuts. Can spot the difference when he actually talks about farming as the word count increases, versus something he's looked up to bulk out a chapter. I sat looking at all these different places and thought, I’m missing out on some of the most amazing places in Britain.
