This mint seemingly unread copy is bound in blue cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, tight, white, bright and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition. Miss Charity Finch returns to her village Restharrow following an absence of 24 years. It's now post-World War II but the sleepy little village has hardly changed at all since her childhood in the 1880s. Only the faces have changed. So many people she once knew and loved are now lying under the tall unkempt grass in the churchyard. As she walks the meadow path she remembers those long-ago days of her youth. There was a family of cousins nearby, as close to Charity or Cherry, as she was called then, as siblings. They lived in a farmhouse which they shared with another woman and her daughter. There the family experienced the joys and sorrows of everyday life in a village. There were moments of fun like the flower show and weddings, and moments of sadness when death came. There was, of course, petty gossip and poverty. Through it all, they were a close family and a tight community. As Charity grew from a girl into a woman she realized her hopes and dreams lay outside of the village she always called home. This book was Flora Thompson's last work, published posthumously the year after her death in 1947. Ref K4. Lynton Lamb (illustratore).…

James Hawker (baptised 29 August 1836 - 7 August 1921) was an English poacher. He was born Daventry, Northamptonshire and began poaching as a teenager to gain extra income whilst working as an apprentice bootmaker. He joined the militia to acquire a gun and reached the rank of corporal, although he left Daventry after falling out with the head gamekeeper at Badby. In 1893 he was elected to the Oadby school-board (sitting next to the "Leading Gentlemen" on whose lands he poached) and in 1894 was a member of the Oadby parish council. Hawker kept photographs of William Ewart Gladstone, Charles Bradlaugh, Augustine Birrell, Thomas Sayers, and Gladys Cooper in his diary. In 1921 he died of a heart attack at Stoughton Road, Oadby and was buried in Oadby cemetery. In 1961 the Oxford University Press published his journal, written in 1904 - 1905, a "mixture of autobiography, poacher's handbook, and radical philosophy. Ref NN 2. Lynton Lamb (illustratore).…
