Lark Rise to Candleford

In Lark Rise, the Stonemason’s children, Laura and Edmund, conjure up the characters, gossip and excitement of their tiny Oxfordshire hamlet in the 1880s, from the horror of a pig-killing by torchlight to the thrilling visit of a cheapjack. We meet the snobbish vicar and his conscientious daughter, the Troy publican with his radical customers, the tragic old soldier hounded into the workhouse, and young Emily, scarcely more than a child, taken by her father to the great house to confront the young man who has made her pregnant.
