A snapshot of rural life 100 years ago. Utterly compelling ; spare beautiful descriptions and the world through the eyes of a naive gentle man . Wonderful; I wolfed down the three books in the trilogy and cannot recommend highly enough. And the fact that is set in my local patch of Somerset added another dimension! Thanks to Tim Pears.

Having read this trilogy myself, I have so far bought it for 11 friends. So enjoyable, and knowledgeable. Being country born and bred, his descriptions bring you into the story so much, you feel the breeze and smell the surroundings with the subject, teaching you many old country ways. Just fabulous. Cannot recommend highly enough. Incredible author.
