In FENLAND CHRONICLE Sybil Marshall has collected together her parent's remembrances of their childhoods, marriage, family life and work in this traditional corner of England and drawn them into a wonderfully vivid portrait of a time gone by. Their memories are prodigious: they recall the misery of Victorian schooldays and, while her father remembers his work as a turf digger, brickmaker and waterman, her mother looks back on her life as a wife, mother and farmworker and tells of the ancientcustoms and lore of the age. Their hardships were faced with courage, resilience and good humour.
