Harold Webber Freeman - known as 'Jack' - was one of the most significant East Anglian novelists in the first half of the twentieth century. R H Mottram declared him an equal of Thomas Hardy, and in his best work, he could on occasion surpass him. Freeman's second novel, Down in the Valley (1930), is set in the village of Kersey, and peopled with a number of authentic characters and several remarkable scenes. In recent decades Freeman's reputation has rightly enjoyed something of a revival, due in no small part to a few enthusiasts dedicated to preserving his literary legacy. Joseph and his Brethren, Down in the Valley and Chaffinch's are now back in print and serve as an invaluable record of East Anglian life (Eastern Daily Press).
