Abstract
THE village described is Aldington, in the Vale of Evesham, situated at the foot of the Cotswold Hills, and the author sets out his recollections of the people and the village life as he has known them during his residence. It is not a survey in the ordinary sense; it is rather a record of the trivial features of everyday life during the past thirty years in the village, which will no doubt prove of interest to readers who enjoy reading about country matters. The details of the farming are not described, and although figures are sometimes mentioned in connection with prices, there are no dates to give precision or to allow of any check. The book is concerned almost wholly with the village inhabitants, and its interest is literary rather than scientific.
