Yesterday’s Country VillageHenry Buckton Take a trip back to the rural communities of yesterday and immerse yourself in everyday village life as it once was. The traditional spirit of the small country village – the charm of the buildings, the characters and the warmth of the welcome – is so often fondly remembered, but what was it really like to live in these communities? What was it that makes us long for a similar quality of life now? Here is a unique chance to recall those days gone by, as villages around Britain are revisited through first-hand accounts and historical research. Richly illustrated with hundreds of delightful and fascinating old photographs, many never published before, this is a treasury of scenes and faces that evoke memories of lives lived through hard times and good, but always with great humour and enduring spirit. A joyous collection of true stories that is at once absorbing and inspiring for today’s reader. Published by David & Charles ISBN: 0 7153 2095 5 |
