•      Arthur George Street (1892–1966), who wrote under the name of A. G. Street, was an English farmer, writer and broadcaster. A number of his books were published by the literary publishing house of Faber and Faber.
•      The Gentleman of the Party was first published in 1936 and was described by Douglas West in the "Daily Mail" as a 'robust and impressive novel'. A vivid portrayal of farming life in Wiltshire from 1872 to the 1930s, The Gentleman of the Party is filled with gentle humour as it charts the history of the changing face of English farming over 60 years. Exploring the strict social structures and absolute hierarchy that existed in rural England, as well as the harsh life experienced by the farm labourers, The Gentleman of the Party is a fictional account of a forgotten and often shocking time in English history.
