In a Country Churchyard
Fletcher, Ronald
Book Number: 45468
ISBN: 0586083421
Publisher: Paladin Granada 1980
8vo softcover 160pp very good. The author has traced many life stories hidden in the country churchyards of East Anglia where he lives. His generously illustrated narrative calls back to life whith striking clarity a host of characters. Among them are a cheerful hunchbacked little mwn who, though unfit for ordinary work, was given a useful part to play in the life of the community, a gentle lifeshy poet, and a man whose turbulent involvement in early American history belies the quiet of his resting place under and old yew tree in the East Anglian countryside. The detailed picture which emerges is one of human community intimately acquainted with hardshop, struggle and loss as well the variety and warm humour of daily village life in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century England.
