The Archers' country cookbook

HARRIS, Mollie

London : Hutchinson of London

<p>collection of her memories of growing up on the Oxfordshire village of Ducklington during the 1920's. I thoroughly enjoyed her descriptions of everyday life in a time otherwise lost to me. Her own words are best - "There was a sense of wonderment about our everyday lives - searching for the first wild flowers of the season - sliding on a frozen pond at night in thr crisp, frosty air - the magic of staying with my Grandparents - luscious, country, stuffingy, Christmas smells - homemade jam boiling on an open fire - the magic of firelight and stories at bedtime - breviting over the fields, wooding and mushrooming - the kindness and good humour of neighbors and friends in those hard-up, happy times - the closeness of a big family in an overcrowded but happy home - our mother's indestructible gaiety and sense of wonderment - some of which, thankfully, rubbed off onto her children.</p>

One of seven children, Mollie Harris was brought up in the Oxfordshire village of Ducklington. She tells of the joys and hardships of life in her poor, hard-working family, from stealing plums from the neighbor's garden, to being given the "swillings" of a jam jar as a treat. Full of captivating tales of hot days by the river and cold winters in the classroom, of friends and family and of life in the village, this is an unforgettable account of a country childhood.
