"The author recalls her childhood days in a small, unspoiled corner of the south of England, where electricity was still a new and barely trusted gadget and running water a miracle, while bindweed sprouted up through the floor. The central figure was her grandfather, William Budd, builder, wheelwright and undertaker, typifing a whole generation of rural craftsman whose working day, often of twelve hours' duration, still left them with sufficient energy to play cricket in youth, and guide the destiny of the parish council in age."
"Autobiographical study of the author's grandparents and her life with them in Southern England."@en
