“ “We would put it among the best of all country books … It should be read by everyone who loves England and wants to know something of the soul of England.”
- The Field
“All who live in the country and all who write about it … know Mr Warren for a true blood-brother. In his apprehension of the values of the values of the small manifestations of the common destiny of man, in his quiet and in his soberness, he joins hands after his own fashion with a poet whom he himself quotes, Andrew Young.”
- The Times Literary Supplement
A review from the back-inside of the dustcover:
“A prose record of life in an East Anglican village during the winter of 1939-40, a record touched with retrospective glimpses of men and summers past. The book is perfect in its unpretentious way; and the fine black-and-white illustrations are an admirable complement to the narrative”
