TALES OF A SUSSEX FAMILY FARM: LIFE AT FRITHWOOD 1949-1997

by Angela M. Lerwill

Published by The Choir Press. 1st. 2023

Nearly fine condition. Farming and family life are at the heart of this delightful memoir set in the Sussex countryside. From 1949-1997, Frithwood Farm was the cherished home of the Lerwill family. Although an idyllic location for the youngsters to grow up in, it was hard work for their parents as they tended the land and cared for the animals - as well as their own brood. Matt green boards. xiii and 230 pages.

One corner crease else a fine copy.
