The ‘employed drop‐out’

Dorset folds itself away like the green silk lining of a cloak. Just a tea‐break county on the road to Devon and Cornwall, it hides away from the main roads in case a stray tourist should glimpse its real country, and choose to stay. It is here that Kenneth Allsop, television journalist, author and writer of renown, takes refuge from the streets of London and becomes, in his own words, “an employed drop‐out.”
