Synopsis
This is a book filled with anecdotes, with people, with village life and the ways of the country, described with a deft and imaginative pen. Ruth Plant grew up in a country vicarage in the early years of this century. She draws a picture of herself as a child and of the world around her, a world which was to change for ever after the end of the First World War. Even though her parents had only small means, they, like other similar families, kept several staff. And among them was Nanny, who devoted herself to the two children, weaving a spell of love and security round them. Even though, with the advent of war, she had to leave to look after her own mother, she remained a friend of the family until her death.
