These volumes comprise Adrian Bell's celebrated trilogy of novelized memoirs, set in the West Suffolk countryside between the two World Wars.
The lasting fascination of the trilogy lies in the contrast between the natural hopefulness of their young author, and the economic hopelessness of the scene to which he has committed his life. First published in the early 1930s, the books offer an intimate look at the realities, rhythms, and challenges of agriculture at that time.
