He grew up in an impoverished but loving family and left school at age 12 to support them after his father's death. The path of a writer, Spring's memoir details his humble beginnings working as an errand boy for a newspaper. This experience was his first step into the world of journalism and literature, which he pursued through evening classes, before later becoming a bestselling author. Howard Spring (1889-1965), was a Welsh author and journalist. He began his writing career as a journalist but from 1934 produced a series of bestselling novels for adults and children. The most successful was 'Fame Is the Spur' (1940), which was later adapted into a film starring Michael Redgrave, and later still a BBC TV series (1982) starring Tim Pigott-Smith and David Hayman. Quite a scarce book. Jacket and illustrations by Lynton Lamb (illustrator).

But both young men are regarded by the fathers as unsuitable, even though each suitor is, in fact, much like the respective father when at that age. The young ladies, with the support of the Rector, each endeavor to get their way. The brewer's daughter refuses to wear the silk dresses her father buys for her, choosing to dress down to her future station of life is she marries without her father's consent. Meanwhile, the banker's daughter takes to her bed and refuses to eat. The fathers, of course, are eventually forced to give in, leaving the Rector triumphant, and the young couples very happy! Although not one of the Barchester Chronicles, this book is set within that context, and makes references to the events of The Warden. Jacket and illustrations by Lynton Lamb (illustrator).

[Wiki] ***'This is a portrait of an Oxfordshire village, and the story of the lives of some of the inhabitants in the period round about Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. In those years life in such remote country places flowed peacefully; war was no more than a subject for school history lessons and for old men's tales by the winter fireside; the motor bus, the cinema, and the wireless broadcast were still in the unglimpsed future; hard work with plain fare was the ordinary villagers' lot and they had, as they themselves said, troubles enough and to spare. But life was not all hardship; such pleasures as came their way were enjoyed with a wholeheartedness unknown to-day. The village feast and the flower show were highlights of the year; the may-garland was still carried in procession on May Day; there were mummers at Christmas; weddings and christenings, harvest homes, pig feasts, alehouse jollity, and dancing on the green. In the intervals between such doings the villagers had to depend upon personal resources for entertainment, and with what zest they lived and the complications they encountered are recorded here by an eyewitness who had already shown in "Lark Rise to Candleford" her unique gift of preserving in attractive and accomplished prose a phase of English life which might otherwise pass unrecorded.' [Quote taken from the inside front flap of the dustwrapper] ***A third impression of Flora Thompson's "Still Glides the Stream" in very nice collectable condition. Embellished with line drawings by Lynton Lamb. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Lynton Lamb [Chapter heading illustrations] (illustrator).
