  The author of this book, a native of South Wales, found himself in the early 1950s living with his family in a remote village in East Anglia, just as mechanization was taking control in every aspect of rural life. He set out to gather a unique testimony to his neighbours' vanishing skills, crafts, speech-forms and folklore. This book is the result.
