Decorative Laminated Boards. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Select Edition. Hardcover. A Village Year. Small tear to bottom edge of spine of D/J. The author, who has spent most of his life in villages, knows the customs and the characters intimately and in this book he follows a typical English village month by month, through the activities and seasons of the year, in an account that is part fiction, part fact, a style he has made all his own. His sharp observations of expected and unexpected events in the village result in a humerous and entertaining description of the villagers' daily life in which the reader is invited to take part. August is the month of the match - the annual cricket match against neighbouring villages. At other times the events in the Women's Institute and the Parish Council catch the interest, or the church with its Vicar and bell ringers, or the local pub. The reader shares the villagers' sport, scandals, work, festivities, problems and pleasures. The text is illustrated with photographs of typical 'happenings' in the village, many of which have been taken by photographers James Ravilious, and also includes four Edward Bawden's delightful colour lithogeaphs.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Reprint. Hardback. Foreword by Gordon Beningfield. This book celebrates a world of leafy hedgegrows, quiet country lanes and small, lush meadows, of small-scale mixed farms with chickens scratching in the farmyard, of tranquil villages where the cottages were inhabited by country people rather than commuters, and of harvest scenes in which the fruits of a year's labour were gathered in by whole families helped by heavy horses and not by a single contractor driving a large, noisy marchine. Here too, are the craftsmen who served their local communitites, producing everything from cartwheels to clothes pegs, from bee skeps to farm ladders. The highly evocative pictures of the British countryside dating from around 1930 to the early 1960s, are accompanied by an informative commentary by Sadie Ward that reveals a deep knowledge of the nation's rural past. The foreford is by Gordon Beningfield, who is well-known for his line paintings of the English countryside. This collection of superb period photographs drawn from the archives of the Institute of Agricultural History at the University of Reading paints a beautiful and poignant portrait of a way of life that has vanished for ever. Illustrated throughout. 95 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.).…
