Lark Rise to Candleford

Flora Thompson\'s immortal trilogy, containing \"Lark Rise\", \"Over To Candleford\" and \"Candleford Green\", is a heartwarming portrayal of country life at the close of the 19th century. This story of three closely related Oxfordshire communities - a hamlet, the nearby village and a small market town - is based on the author\'s experiences during childhood and youth. It chronicles May Day celebrations and forgotten children\'s games, the daily lives of farmworkers and craftsmen, friends and relations - all painted with a gaiety and freshness of observation that make this trilogy an evocative and sensitive memorial to Victorian rural England.With a new introduction by Richard Mabey Σελίδες: 544, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
