Publisher's Synopsis
This is the first book of the famous trilogy of English country life, The Brensham Trilogy, by John Moore.
A wonderful and exuberant chronicle of an English market town between the wars, distinguished with a historic abbey, a winding river and bustling pubs with a cast of characters that could have stepped out of Hogarth or Shakespeare...
