Beskrivelse af Wheelstocks and Ploughshares
Abey Staughton is apprenticed to the 'guvnor', a wheelwright and carpenter in Nether Oldston, a small village in rural Oxfordshire in the years before the First World War. He depicts the incidents of his daily life in a rural community: falling asleep after haymaking and cider, with Eva who adored him and Sally who was serious about him, which led to trouble; his turn as chariot driver, to rescue Sally from a bull; and his varied work with farm stock, timber and the tools of the trade, as gradually he absorbs the skills of a carpenter and wheelwright.A vivid depiction of how life was in rural England in the years leading up to and during the first world war.First published in 1988 by Tabb House, 7 Church Street, Padstow, Cornwall, PL28 8BG, UK, this edition is reproduced with their kind permission (Original ISBN 0 90701863 7)
