NIGEL FARRELL The Village
London England, BBC Books, 1992. 1st Paperback Edition, Binding: Softcover, Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 056336405X Paperback The everday lives of the colourful local people form the substance of The Village. At its centre is the Holmes family of Glade Farm, whose apparently peaceful and pastoral existence is marred by personal tragedy. From Glade Farm we move to the wider community, finding there too both triumph and disaster. Along the way we experince the paranormal goings-on at Jenkyn Place, share in the excitement of the cowpat lottery at the annual village fete and meet many memorable characters. Hilda and Margaret Evans, retired teachers of boundless energy, Walter Sherfield gardener and bell-ringer par excellence, and old Ma Cox, sometime confidante of Lord Montgomery, are amongst those who emerge from the rural scenery. Imagine a mixture of The Archers and All Creatures Great and Small, add a hefty dose of humour and sometimes sadness, and you have some idea of The Village. Proof postive that truth is stranger than fiction. The Village is a place we shall all remember. Previous owners name to inside cover. .
