Sensitive and book-loving Laura is born in the rural hamlet of Lark Rise, where life has followed an unchanging pattern for centuries and the days are governed by the rhythms of nature.
This is the unforgettable story of her beloved home: a place where children know the name of every bird, flower and tree; men work the fields; women gossip over the fence; and the last relics of country customs have yet to die out. Whether it is describing ancient traditions like the Mayday garland procession, bringing the harvest home and singing ballads in the local inn, or introducing characters such as Laura's radical father, pioneering Mrs Spicer, eccentric bee-keeping Qucenie or the ladies who wear bustles to feed the pigs, the first part of Flora Thompson's autobiographical "Lark Rise to Candlejord" trilogy captures a vanished corner of rural England and the timeless joys of childhood.
