'People were poorer and had not the comforts, amusements, or
knowledge we have today; but they were happier.' Lark Rise to
Candleford is Flora Thompson's classic evocation of a vanished
world of agricultural customs and rural culture. The trilogy of
Lark Rise, Over to Candleford, and Candleford Green tells the story
of Flora's childhood and youth during the 1880s in Lark Rise, in
reality Juniper Hill, the hamlet in Oxfordshire where she was born.
Through the eyes of Laura, the author's fictional counterpart,
Flora describes the cottages, characters, and way of life of the
agricultural labourers and their families with whom she grew up;
seasonal celebrations, schooling, church-going, entertainment and
story-telling are described in fond and documentary detail. Later,
when Laura leaves school and becomes assistant to the village
postmistress, the same loving detail brings vividly to life the
rural post office and its staff. This edition of the trilogy
reproduces the original wood-engravings by Julie Neild and includes
a new introduction by Phillip Mallet which looks at the background
to the books and their enduring popularity.
