	Review: A Parrot in the Pepper Tree by Chris Stewart \| Special Reports \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Chris Stewart, the almost-bankrupt ex-drummer of Genesis, decided 20 years ago to up sticks and try his luck in a tumbledown shack in southern Spain, and discovered that there was.
		What marks Stewart out from similar writers is that this is not the life of an Englishman remaining English abroad, as in the Provence of Peter Mayle, but that of an intrepid man having to survive in a primitive part of Spain where making a living is a struggle.
		Stewart is at his strongest on the subject of nature and the environment.

	Amazon.ca: Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia: Books: Chris Stewart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		When English sheep shearer Chris Stewart (once a drummer for Genesis) bought an isolated farmhouse in the mountains outside of Granada, Spain, he was fully aware that it didn't have electricity, running water, or access to roads.
		Stewart's hilarious and beautifully written passages are deep in their honest perceptions of the place and the sometimes xenophobic natives, whose reception of the newcomers ranges from warm to gruff.
		Stewart, a former drummer in Genesis, middle-aged travel writer and professional sheepshearer, never quite explains why he and his wife, Ana, decided to quit England 11 years ago for a dilapidated farm without electricity, water or even a road in Andaluc!a, Spain.

		Stewart's experience as a fighter pilot comes into play in vivid flying scenes featuring the beautiful but tough-as-nails USAF Capt. Tai Lei, but the scope of his ambitious fourth thriller is much larger.
		But Stewart is impressively skilled at presenting the entire tapestry of his war—the many threads of the terrorist, allied and American forces—and should hold his readers' interest.
		Chris Stewart’s literary torque wrench cranks up the tension to an unbearable point in this stark tale of the war on terror.

	Driving Over Lemons by Chris Stewart
		At age 17 Chris retired as the drummer of Genesis and launched a career as a sheep shearer and travel writer.
		Chris transports us to Las Alpujarras, an oddball region south of Granada, and into a series of misadventures with an engaging mix of peasant farmers and shepherds, New Age travellers and ex-pats.
		The hero of the piece, however, is the farm that he and Ana bought, El Valero – a patch of mountain studded with olive, almond and lemon groves, sited on the wrong side of a river, with no access road, water supply or electricity.

	Chris Stewart: guilty or innocent? \| Twin Cities Daily Planet
		Chris said that he wouldn’t have had time to develop the site since he was busy campaigning but that once he saw it, he should have made sure that it was put down immediately and he takes responsibility for not having done that.
		He said that absolutely the person they saw in the campaign and the ideas were Stewart's views and that the only thing people who know Stewart, wouldn’t know about the private Stewart, is that Stewart is more stubborn in private than he appears to be in public.
		Chris Stewart is charged with no crime and while his satirical website may have bruised some feelings, it caused no physical injury to anyone.

	Notes from Spain podcast 47 - Chris Stewart interview - Spain Forum and Spanish Forum - Notes from Spain
		This weekend we headed deep into the Alpujarras, a mountainous region south of Granada, to interview Chris Stewart, author of Driving Over Lemons, A Parrot in the Pepper Tree, and the Almond Blossom Appreciation Society.
		Although I had never heard of Chris Stewart before listening to the podcast, I certainly found it to be a very charming, informative one.
		Chris was very emotional and emphatic, while Giles was the dispationate newspaperman.

		Chris Stewart prepared for life on a mountain farm in Spain with jobs of doubtful relevance.
		This is the essence, when Chris describes the stench of sheep pens I can really smell it, when he describes his uncertainty of the eco-folly but that his sixth sense is pushing him on in the face of family ridicule, I can believe and cheer him on.
		Stewart’s sequel is as good as the original and this is one of those books that leave you with the same feeling felt after a good hot bath after a hard day’s work.

		On the plus side, at least Chris doesn't tread the "good life abroad, back to peasantry, live off the land, eat worms, no electric ethnic struggle thing" which is a pretty worn theme these days.
		Readers of Chris Stewart's earlier titles can rightly expect to be rewarded in his latest volume with another charming, playfully self-deprecating account of everything he turns his hand to, and an empathetic appreciation of the people he runs into.
		Chris paints an idylic picture of life in Spain, but includes interesting points of culture and copes with the struggles of that way of life with tenacious and joyous spirit.

		You will find yourself laughing out loud as Chris is instructed by his daughter on local teenage mores; bluffs his way in art history to millionaire Bostonians; is rescued off a snowy peak by the Guardia Civil; and joins an Almond Blossom Appreciation Society.
		You’ll cringe with Chris as he stries his hand at office work in an immigrants’ advice centre in Granada, spurred into action by the arrival of four destitute young Moroccans at El Valero.
		In this sequel to ‘Lemons’ and ‘Parrot’, Chris Stewart’s optimism and zest for life is as infectious as ever.

		It is such a great tale: Chris Stewart, one time drummer of Genesis (he left at age 17) sinks his all (the grand sum of $35,000) into a peasant farm in Andalucia.
		Though Stewart's reporting of his experience as an ex-pat living on a rustic farm in Spain is serviceable and may be useful to someone planning a comparable adventure, the book never achieves the transporting quality of the best of this genre.
		Stewart succeeds with this book because we can relate to his naivety, and the humor in his narrative is natural and understated.

		As for the influence of the Moros on Southern Spain I found that interesting and Chris was good at explaining that and putting forward his ideas on organic farming.
		I’m a huge fan of Chris Stewart’s books and one of my favourite holidays was spent gripping the steering wheel around the vertiginous bends of the Alpujarras in a clapped out hired car.
		The point is that a person like Chris is not allowed to accuse Spaniards of racism when he comes from a country where, for instance, Police is known as being “institutionalised racist”.
