Blurb:
A gipsy once told the fortune of Laura (as Flora Thompson called herself in the trilogy of books which appear together in this volume): 'You are going to be loved by people you've never seen and never will see.'
The prophecy came true when she published her endearing and precise record of country life at the end of the 19th century - a record in which she brilliantly engraves the fast-dissolving England of peasant, yeoman and craftsman and tints her picture with the cheerful courage and the rare pleasures that marked a self-sufficient world of work and poverty.
Looks like another one for my 'To be read' shelf.

Read and much enjoyed in September 2019. I hadn’t expected it to be non-fiction because I knew it had been dramatised and made into a television series.
