Dreams of the good life : the life of Flora Thompson and the creation of Lark Rise to Candleford
Mabey, Richard, 1941-2015
Books, Manuscripts
While the 'Lark Rise to Candleford' trilogy, Flora Thompson's much-loved portrait of life in the English countryside, has inspired a hit television series, relatively little is known about the author herself. In this book, bestselling biographer and nature writer Richard Mabey sympathetically retraces her life and her transformation from a post-office clerk who left school at 14 to a sophisticated professional writer.
