Lilies on the Land

T0
Inspired and devised from over 140 wonderful letters received from ex-Land Girls all over the country, Lilies of the Land recounts the astonishing experiences of women who signed up for the Women's Land Army during World War II. Willingly offering their help to bring in the harvest and farm food for the nation, many Land Girls had never ventured into the British countryside before... overalls full of mice, toilet rolls from the sky, hand milking and swede bashing: a rich energetic narrative vividly recounts the poignant joys and extraordinary hardships of the Land Girls, mingled with the much-loved songs of this unforgettable era.
