Description

"My earliest recollection of Colkirk was, I think, the Diamond Jubilee of good Queen Victoria in 1897 ... " Alfred Absolon's memoir is a unique window into life in rural Norfolk before the Great War and a story full of his family's farming heritage.

He grows up on his aunt's farm in the village of Colkirk.

This is a place where folklore is as real as the seasons and the harvest is gathered by men and horses.

The threshing machine is powered by a steam engine, and the village is home to traditional craftsmen who practice a fading way of life.

This is an authentic and unforgettable first-person account of life in a Norfolk village at the turn of the century (1897-1929)
