Tales From Candleforth
Flora Jane Thompson was a writer from England who died on 21 May 1947. She is best known for her semi-autobiographical trilogy of novels set in the English countryside. Her stories are lively, witty, and full of character. They will bring a sense of place to your reading life.
The trilogy chronicles Victorian rural life through the experiences of Laura and Edmund Timmins. From May Day celebrations to children's games, the story is filled with the lives of farmworkers and craftsmen. There is a strong sense of family and friendship within the story. The book has a lyrical style that will captivate readers of all ages. This is a wonderful book about life in a small English market town.
If you're looking for a great Sunday night series, look no further than "Lark Rise to Candleford." It looks soapy and sentimental, but it's a thoroughly engaging and often touching chronicle of life in a Victorian English village around 1895. While the series begins as an affectionate satire of rural life, it quickly turns into a study of human values and the complexities of love and family.
Laura Timmins moves to the town of Candleford from Lark Rise in order to get a post office job there. Her new life is exciting, but she has to leave behind the life she knew in Lark Rise.
