Augustus - Jessopp | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

1926. We doubt if such an account of English village life, its bad and good sides, its specialties, its humors, and the odd knarled characters it produces has ever been published...Full of thought, yet fuller yet of a subtle humorousness which is not Addison's or Lamb's, but something as separate and almost as attractive. Contents: The Coming of the Friars; Village Life in Norfolk Six Hundred Years Ago; Daily Life in a Mediaeval Monastery; The Black Death in East Anglia; The Building Up of a University; and The Prophet of Walnut-Tree Yard.
