Description
Hope Bourne's Exmoor Village is a poignant tribute to her beloved home village, set in the late 1960s. Withypool and its surroundings are vividly described, capturing the essence of rural life before modern technology dominated daily routines.
The manuscript, carefully filed away for nearly half a century, was rediscovered by Dr Helen Blackman, archivist to the Exmoor Society, in 2014. The text is complemented by Hope's evocative line drawings, offering a unique glimpse into the history and rhythms of the village.
This book will be a treasured find for those who appreciate Hope Bourne's work and the beauty of Exmoor, its people and places.
