THE BLUE FIELD

 John Moore, Collins 3^rd imp. 1951.

John Moore’s charming and evocative factional story of English village life. This is how he puts it in the Author’s Note; " This book is a successor and companion-piece to Brensham Village, which in its turn continued the account of people and happenings in England’s Middle West begun in ‘Portrait of Elmbury.’ Some of the characters appear in all three books; and The Blue Field carries the story up to the present day.

"I should like to emphasise once again that ‘ Brensham’ is not a particular village but a synthesis of villages; onto which I have imported certain characters, real and imaginary, whenever it suited my purpose to do so."

Another story about the England we all hope and pray and dream still exists

The book has no dust jacket. Otherwise, it is clean and tightly bound.
