'The best portrait of rural life in England' Roger Deakin 'Exquisite' John Updike 'The finest contemporary writer on the English countryside' Observer Ronald Blythe's perceptive and vivid evocation of the rural Suffolk he had known since childhood was acclaimed as an instant classic when it was published in 1969.
