Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Travels Round Our Village: A Berkshire Book It is good in these days of bustle and strife, to drift for a while into some quiet backwater - such as may yet be found in rural England - which the tide of progress stirs but just enough to avert stagnation; where old-world customs and archaic forms of speech still linger and where men go about their daily tasks in a spirit of serene leisureliness, therein copying Nature who never hurries. Of such a sequestered corner, its humours, its homely comedies and simple pathos would I write. The village appears not in Bradshaw - although indeed the Great Western line touches its extreme boundary, so that labourers working in the lower fields need no watch, but time their hours by certain trains, saying, "Ther´ goos Tankey, in five minutes us can knock off."
