Lark Rise to Candleford

by Flora Thompson

Published in one volume, Flora Thompson's trilogy of life in rural England in the 1890's -- Lark Rise, Over to Candleford, and Candleford Green. The childhood and adolescence of an English country girl growing up in a world of privation and poverty that was at that time taken for granted. The descriptions of a long-ago way of life are eloquent, moving, and full of sorrow for that which has been lost forever.
