About This Book
The author recounts a long life rooted in a Suffolk village, describing a rural childhood marked by a serious childhood accident, early schooling under parish masters, and an apprenticeship that led to farm and domestic work. He presents vivid anecdotes of local pastimes, reading and instruction, encounters with neighbours and employers, and practical details of everyday labour. Interwoven throughout are reflections on personal faith and gratitude for providential care, and a steady chronological recollection of social and occupational experiences spanning much of the nineteenth century.
