About This Item
London: Thames and Hudson, 1972. 8vo size hardcover with dust jacket; 230 bright, white pages. From jacket: " (A) memoir of (the author's) life as a conscientious objector during the Second World War... While the war thunders about him, he works on the land among strangers of many religious and political complexions. The seasons come and go; the jobs change, but are always hard to learn and boring; there are new companions and old companions - but there is always the land and always there is the weather. This is a work of great beauty, with many remembered moments of joy among the days and months of slogging misery." British author Edward Bishen (1920 - 1996) wrote more than a dozen book during his career. He was also a broadcaster for the BBC. This volume is one of four autobiographies. Light wear to jacket with crease to inside jacket flap and two light marks on bottom of book.
