Publisher Description
THE COUNTRY CHILD is a semi-autobiographical story about a girl growing up in the country. Alison Uttley has drawn on her own youth to produce memories so vivid and nostalgic that you can almost smell the honeysuckle and hear the owls calling at dusk.
She writes about the small intense joys and sorrows of life on a small farm: the fun of haymaking, the sadness of favourite animals being slaughtered, and the close sweetness of Christmas celebrations in the farmhouse kitchen.
Also in A Puffin Book: A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley
Customer Reviews
The country child
Don't be put off by the simple title. Let your imagination live her country farm life through her words. With no brothers and sisters to play with her friends were the trees the flowers much more. She was a very unusual little girl who could sense things.
Well worth reading.
