About This Item
London: Macmillan Children's, 1981. Reprint ed.. Hardback small oblong quarto, two dustjackets, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), colour drawings, some rubbing edges, minor edgewear jacket (faint toning reverse side), endpapers little creased. 32 pp. This charming childrenâs picture book describes the growth of an English village from a medieval clearing to the urban congestion of the present day. Rural life remained unchanged by outside events, apart from the Civil War of 1642, until the advent of the motor car. This very special book has an ingenious half-page that alters the scene. A wordless but wonderful vivid lesson in social history for all ages.
