Book Description Hardback. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Lynton Lamb (illustrator). First Thus. STILL GLIDES THE STREAM. Flora Thompson. Illustrated by Lynton Lamb. Oxford University Press. London. 1981 Reissue ISBN 0192174142 234pp Illustrated Hardback. This mint seemingly unread copy is bound in blue cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, tight, white, bright and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition. Miss Charity Finch returns to her village Restharrow following an absence of 24 years. It's now post-World War II but the sleepy little village has hardly changed at all since her childhood in the 1880s. Only the faces have changed. So many people she once knew and loved are now lying under the tall unkempt grass in the churchyard. As she walks the meadow path she remembers those long-ago days of her youth. There was a family of cousins nearby, as close to Charity or Cherry, as she was called then, as siblings. They lived in a farmhouse which they shared with another woman and her daughter. There the family experienced the joys and sorrows of everyday life in a village. There were moments of fun like the flower show and weddings, and moments of sadness when death came. There was, of course, petty gossip and poverty. Through it all, they were a close family and a tight community. As Charity grew from a girl into a woman she realized her hopes and dreams lay outside of the village she always called home. This book was Flora Thompson's last work, published posthumously the year after her death in 1947. Ref K4. Seller Inventory # 014229
