Review:
"Evokes the world of her childhood with exceptional clarity, tenderness and precision." * Sunday Telegraph * "A sort of Cider with Rosie . . . her writing oozes nostalgia, affection and a passion for the English countryside." * Daily Mail * "Without the slightest sentimentality, this magical book describes what was lost: a closeness to the natural world, a life tied to the seasons, and memories of incredible richness and texture." * Evening Standard * "Enchanting memoir . . . Lycett Green makes the beautiful countryside throughout the seasons as real as the robust villagers." * Sunday Times * "Executed with accomplishment and brio. Lycett Green may be practised, but there's a delightful freshness here, along with humour, empathy and an unexpected sense of menace." * Daily Telegraph *
