Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was not thinking that this edition would be a great one because I don't have a strong interest in country living. Well I was wrong, an account of visiting an English town written about in 1969 and finding out how life has changed left me quite absorbed in the details. Doris Lessing writes about destroying a poor old chair from the 20's. An author finds letters written by her grandmother many years later and Studs Turkel writes about Bob Dylan. Good fun and I loved it.
