"My earliest recollection of Colkirk was, I think, the Diamond
Jubilee of good Queen Victoria in 1897 ... " Alfred Absolon's
memoir is a unique window into life in rural Norfolk before the
Great War and a story full of his family's farming heritage. He
grows up on his aunt's farm in the village of Colkirk. This is a
place where folklore is as real as the seasons and the harvest is
gathered by men and horses. The threshing machine is powered by a
steam engine, and the village is home to traditional craftsmen who
practice a fading way of life. This is an authentic and
unforgettable first-person account of life in a Norfolk village at
the turn of the century (1897-1929)
