Harold Cramp and his eight brothers and sisters helped to run the family farm in Leicestershire Village around the time of the First World War. This moving but clear-eyed account of his childhood evokes a vanished way of life when the land and the animals it sustained were supreme, and when a living could be earned without the help of accountants or science. Mrs Cramp, unflagging in her kitchen, fueled the muscles on which the whole enterprise depended, and what the family could not get themselves was provided by the Blacksmith, Carpenter, Baker and Postmistress. Tur Langton also supplied gossip, Local Characters, and free entertainment from its unrehearsed comedies and small tragedies. In time this will join the small cluster of Villages - Lark Rise, Laure Lee's Slad, Clyro and Akenfield - that form a special part of the literary Landscape. You will receive the book seen in the image. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # MC1872
