Alan Stone's latest book In Search Of Cider will be launched at an event in the Orchards & Cider tent at the Royal Bath & West Show on 30th May.

Following an exhaustive (and possibly exhausting!) tour of cider makers in the four counties of the South West (Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall), local historian and cider aficionado Alan has compiled a veritable goldmine of information covering around 100 of the top makers in the region.

Alan hopes his book will inspire other cider enthusiasts to follow in his footsteps and discover the magical backwaters of cider\'s latest and greatest revival of modern times.

More information, including how to get hold of a copy, can be found at Alan's Somerset History website.
