Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. John Hookham (illustrator). Reprint. Hardback. Slight wear and a couple of very small tears to D/J. Price clipped. This is the story of a full life in an English community lived first and told afterwords, from within. These Good Neighbours lived about fifty years ago in a place not fifty miles from the metropolis. The author's gradnfather lived there with them, and he himself lives there still. But the book is full of learning, though not book-learning, nor hearsay. Walter Rose ranges over the whole life of man-next-door-to-the-fields, the play of children and adults, as well as the never-ending work that is the life and topic of such a society. Illustrations. 138 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
