Book
8vo., 287 pages, b/w illustrations. index, original cloth gilt. A fine clean copy in a fine pictorial dustwrapper. This book tells the story of a remarkable journey into the past. Intrigued by the richness of her husband's family records, Eleanor Porter began a major search. She eventually traced the family down six centuries of England's history, discovering that almost all its members were farmers with strong church loyalties, and deeply rooted in the land. Eleanor's research was followed closely by historian and writer Mary Abbott, and eventually they began working together. The result is an engaging study that begins with the occasion of the 100th birthday of Eleanor Porter's father-in-law and takes us back to medieval times. Against the background of national and international events, the authors paint a more immediate picture of the history that actually shaped lives:the births, marriages and deaths, the rhythm of the farming year and the continuing concerns of crop and livestock husbandry. The Cotswolds epitomise the timeless beauty of rural England and the harmony that can be sustained between nature and man. Mary Abbott's keen eye for important minutiae and the wealth of information garnered by Eleanor Porter combine in a narrative of vivid colour and detail-a celebration of all that has made the Cotswolds what they are today.
