Details

In Lark Rise, the Stonemason's children, Laura and Edmund, conjure up the characters, gossip and excitement of their tiny Oxfordshire hamlet in the 1880s, from the horror of a pig-killing by torchlight to the thrilling visit of a cheapjack. We meet the snobbish vicar and his conscientious daughter, the Troy publican with his radical customers, the tragic old soldier hounded into the workhouse, and young Emily, scarcely more than a child, taken by her father to the great house to confront the young man who has made her pregnant.
