  These volumes comprise Bell's celebrated trilogy of novelized memoirs set in the West Suffolk countryside between the two World Wars. The lasting fascination of all three books lies in the contrast between the natural hopefulness of their young author and the economic hopelessness of the scene to which he has committed his life. A fine and delightful achievement. --The Times (London) Adrian Bell was a journalist on the Observer before becoming a farmer in East Anglia.
