A Nostalgic Book to take you back in time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this book 30 years ago and have read the treasured paperback edition about 15 times.John Moore takes you back to a pre war small rural English village and introduces you to the inhabitants in such a way that you feel you are part of the community. The writing flows and it easy to follow. The book once read, need re-reading every couple of years. It is like visiting old friends. The Colonel, Mr Chorlton, the Hermit, the inhabitants of the pubs etc etc. Of all the books John Moore has written on English country life this is the best.It is like an old friend to me.
