Cloth. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Tricia Newell (illustratore). 1st Century Edition. Hardback. Very slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. A classic account of childhood set over 60 years ago in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, this book brings to life the remote world of generations of miners' families. Blessed with a vivid memory and a natural ear for dialogue, Winifred Foley recreates the life of a warmhearted, loving family. She remembers the small, evocative details - the picture on the coffee tin where granny kept her important papers - so that her world lives again, sturdy, unsentimental, full of the good humour that was the cottager's natural response to a hard life. At 14 Winifred left her rural world for London, where she had applied for a job as a lady's maid. Her adventures in the East End and in the Cotsworlds, where she was maid to a cantankerous old lady of 91, provide a touching end to her childhood. This book lends itself to illustration, and this new edition is decorated, in the syle of a medieval manuscript, with a series of illuminating borders that mark the changing seasons, and with many charming drawings. Illustrated. 191 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 ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Few people visited the Forest of Dean. They thought us primitive, and looked down on us. Winifred Foley grew up in the 1920s, a bright, determined minerâ¬"s daughter in a world of unspoiled beauty and desperate hardship, in which women were widowed at 30 and children died of starvation. Living hand-to-mouth in a tumbledown cottage in the Forest of Dean, Foley"our Poll"had a loving family and the woods and streams of a forest "better than heaven" as a playground. But a brother and sister were dead in infancy, bread had to be begged from kindly neighbors, and she never had a new pair of shoes or a shop-bought doll. And most terrible of all, like her sister before her, at 14 little Poll had to leave her beloved forest for the city, bound for a life in service among Londonâ¬"s grey terraces.
