Items related to Lark Rise (Penguin Essentials)
Flora Thompson's beautifully observed portrait of village life at the end of the nineteenth century chronicles a society on the brink of change. Set in an Oxfordshire hamlet, LARK RISE tells of the people who make up the small, tightly-knit farming community. Among them, the gossip, the midwife, the pedlars, the borrowers, the gypsies, the clerics and the old folk who hate to see traditions fade. Lively, lyrical accounts of long-forgotten children's games and May Day celebrations, of customs and beliefs, are tinged with an underlying awareness that this rich culture was about to vanish forever.

About the Author:
Flora Thompson was born in 1876 on the Oxfordshire-Northamptonshire border. She married young and her husband's job as postmaster took them to Bournemouth. Her three autobiographical volumes brought her fame: Lark Rise (1939), Over to Candleford (1941) and Candleford Green (1943). reissued in one volume as Lark Rise to Candleford (1945). She died in May 1947.
Synopsis:
An autobiography of "Laura" - as the author calls herself - which describes in detail her life in a country village. Her self-sufficient world of farm labourers and craftsmen working to the rhythms of the seasons and enjoying their traditional festivities is preserved for readers.
