The Countryman's England by 1942 "Here is a book about the English countryside of a new sort, which has an appeal as much to the body of readers that looks forward eagerly to Miss Hartley's articles and books as those who follow and appreciate her valuable work of research in medieval history and folk-lore. For the purposes of the book, the land is divided according to its physical ingredients: Mountain and Moorland; The Undulating Farmlands; Garden and Orchard Country; Flats and Fens; Woods and Downs; and, lastly, the girdle of Sea-coast, with its many estuaries. Visit these types of country with Miss Hartley, and you will be rewarded by an amazing amount of fresh information concerning their customs and life. You will learn, for instance, of the ways of the shepherd through the long lonely moorland winters; of how the Midland housewife makes her pork pies; of the technique of cider-brewing on a West Country farm. To her unique knowledge of traditional usage Miss Hartley adds a real gift of observation in present - day matters, and a cheerful zest for country life and country folk that is expressed delightfully in her writing. And the photographs are a joy-128 of them, showing the workaday round on hill and plain, valley and down, through all the changing seasons of the English year." Foreword by A. G. STREET Second Edition Revised 1942 Published by London B. T. Batsford Ltd 116 Pages Hardback with Illustrated Dust sleeve *Dust sleeve has some damage
