“A brilliant series of photos…”
Time Out, 18-24 November 2010

“‘…such a beautiful Tolmers record. The quality of the photos and their presentation in this booklet is superb. The colour in particular gives me a real physical pleasure as if I were looking at some master artist’s paintings. They certainly do make the Tolmers adventure come alive. I am particularly struck by the dancing figures and even more by the charming behaviour towards children – a natural community.’”
Giles Heron, author, farmer and historian, letter, January 2011
