Penguin Classics: Flora Thomson Collection

This is a collection of Flora Thompson's three accounts of her experiences during her childhood and youth: Lark Rise, Over to Candleford and Candleford Green. The immortal trilogy is set in three closely-related Oxfordshire communities: a hamlet, the nearby village and a small market town - all painted with the gaiety and freshness of observation that makes this a precise and endearing portrayal of English country life at the end of the last century.

"Our literature has had no finer remembrancer in this century, no observer so genuinely endearing."
John Fowles, New Statesman
