“Elspeth Huxley kept this diary from April 1974 to March 1975. Interwoven with her daily preoccupations she describes the people around her and the ever-changing patterns of village life in the village of Oaksey.

Although the old ways and skills are disappearing fast, village life remains an essential part of English society. In this delightful cameo, Elspeth Huxley has captured its charm and its changes with all the craft of a born writer.”
