London England: Francis Lincoln. Fine. 2011. First Edition. Decorative Boards. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" Tall Quarto 9780711232587 Hardcover Hardcover. First Edition. About a Village. What is it that makes the ideal village? Firle in East Sussex is both unique and universal. First of all there is a pub and in no particular order come a school, a shop, a cricket pitch, a church, allotments, flint walls and house martins. Above all, the village seems to contain that rarest of ingredients, delight. Cradled in the South Downs, Firle sits literally at the end of the road. It is the last place you can reach by car before coming in summer to a wandering line of chalk and in winter to something a little muddier. It is the connection between village, people and these hills which makes it such a special place. In a delightful photo essay, acclaimed photographer Eamonn J. McCabe, captures some of what makes this English village come alive. Big open skies, small boys holding a colourful catipillar, cabbages and tea cosies, bonfires, bikers, dogs and wellies. This is a book for all those who cherish English country life. Illustrated throughout. 128 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
