Description
The Country Child is a semi-autobiographical account of a girl's life growing up on a small farm before the First World War. Alison Uttley draws on her own childhood memories to recreate a vivid and nostalgic picture of rural life.
She writes about the small joys and sorrows of life on the farm, from the fun of haymaking to the sadness of favourite animals being slaughtered. The book also captures the warmth and sweetness of Christmas celebrations in the farmhouse kitchen.
A poignant and evocative portrayal of a bygone era, The Country Child is a nostalgic and engaging read that invites you to step into a simpler way of life.
