Clarissa and Johnny sally forth from Johnny's sheep farm in the Borders to tweed makers in Halifax, gunsmiths in Lancashire, bootmakers in Northamptonshire, and woodland managers in the West Country. They meet the West Mersey Terrier and Lurcher Club in Liverpool and a gun engraver in Birmingham. We follow Clarissa, who has vowed to take up riding again, as she visits outfitters who supply riding clothes and boots in the Black Country and as Clarissa and Johnny investigate the way many urban countrymen keep in touch with their rural background through their dogs and ferrets.
