About This Item
London: Cresset Press,1989 9780712629133. Hardback. Fine/Fine. Flawless condition of both book and DW. Size: Octavo.. 224 pages. Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour paintings from a variety of artists. A re-issue of the evocative and nostalgic account of Lee's country childhood in a secluded Cotswold valley. Lee describes a vanished rural world of village schools and church outings but also touches on the darker side of village life as it comes into contact with murder, rape, suicide and depression. The novel is an account of Lee's childhood in the village of Slad, Gloucestershire, England, in the period soon after the First World War. It chronicles the traditional village life which disappeared with the advent of new developments, such as the coming of the motor car and relates the experiences of childhood seen from many years later. This would make an excellent gift. .
