Bringing together three iconic explorations into all things Ambridge, The Academic Archers Book Set is a must have for the die-hard Archers fan. Featuring Custard, Culverts and Cake; Gender, Sex and Gossip in Ambridgeand Flapjacks and Feudalism, the Academic Archers delve into all aspects of life, love, society, and politics in the county of Borsetshire.

The books offer both a deeper insight into the characters and world of the Archers, alongside an examination of the real life issues covered in the show, covering topics such as housing, intergenerational wealth, education, gender diversity, and of course, scandal.

Featuring chapters by leading scholars, who also happen to be mega-fans, and stars of the programme, these classic books offer validation that hours of listening to The Archers is, in fact, academic research.
