Thompson, Flora Average customer rating: One of my favorite classics A literary time machine Nostalgia not what it used to be. An excellent appreciation of the "old" ways Lark Rise to Candleford (Penguin Modern Classics) Flora Thompson Manufacturer: Penguin Books Ltd ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: The Miss Dennis School of Writing: And Other Lessons from a Woman's Life The Book of Ebenezer Le Page Cider with Rosie Death in the Garden The Forsyte Saga (Oxford World's Classics) ASIN: Customer Reviews: One of my favorite classics I am so glad this book is still in print. It is one of my very favorites, and I read it at least once per year, like Huckleberry Finn. For those of us who love nature, and tales of growing up in the out-of-doors, this is a beautiful book of the natural world and agricultural lands. It contains wonderful sketches about farm life in the turn-of-the century English countryside, school life, and village characters. This book reminds me of Cider With Rosie (also called The Edge of Day) by Laurie Lee, another excellent book about growing up in England, set around the time of WWI. This is truly worthwhile reading. If you have read "Lark Rise to Candleford" and enjoyed it, another book by Flora Thompson, "Still Glides the Stream", deals with the same subject matter and is also very good. A literary time machine LRTC is one of those books that I read almost every year. Why you should ask? There is no other book that provides a view into a time long past as Flora Thompson does in this and her other major work, "Still Glides the Stream". These are works that allow you to see, smell, taste and touch the fabric of a society in full measure. There is nothing maudlin or sentimental in these works, they demonstrate the grinding poverty of the rural poor in the late 19th century when slowly but surely the winds of change were at work to topple once and for all the rigid hierarchy of the Victorian class system. Also lost are the rural traditions and folk life of a people bonded to the earth and its seasonal cycles. Yet at the same time fully demonstrating the quiet joys and happiness that take place within the family of Laura, the main character who is a thinly disguised Flora Thompson.

The Parish is not greatly changed since Flora�s time - about a dozen new houses have been built, but the population is still well under 200. Although Watford Cottage, where Flora Timms was born, was swept away long ago several of the places she described in Lark Rise can still be identified - the End House; Queenie�s Cottage; the former Fox Inn (Wagon and Horses); the School; the Farm (in Fordlow); the Rectory; Cottisford House where Squire Rousby (Mr Bracewell) lived; and St Mary�s Church. All of these buildings are now private dwellings except, of course, for the small church.

books: The Illustrated Lark Rise to Candleford: A Trilogy by Flora Thompson Flora Thompson Abridged by Julian Shuckburgh Crown Publishers Inc. , 1983 - 224 pages average customer review: based on 1 review view larger image for more information click here simple account of a lost lifestyle I borrowed this book from the library. I love the illustrations, which very much enhance the story. The author reminisces about the way things were in the English countryside in the 1880's. Her accounts and descriptions might be simple, of everyday tasks that we don't think much about, but i really enjoyed learning about these details. The book i read, the " Illustrated " version, is an abrigment of the thre volumes. The editors say at the end that the abridgment was done mostly to avoid repetition, which exists in the three books so that they can be read independently of each other. for more information click here Flora Thompson 's memoirs of a childhood spent in the Oxfordshire hamlet of Juniper in the 1880s. hot or not?
