Flora Jane Thompson, Lark Rise to Candleford, the Complete Trilogy | 
One of my BOTMs from my brilliant partner! 🥰 Even had a lovely little note written on the front page saying 'to be read with tea + muffins..' 😍 Unfortunately i didn't have breakfast muffins but a chocolate muffin with a tea will do 🥰❤️
pickWhat a lovely story. Through the trials of 2020, this book, along with the BBC TV adaption of it, simultaneously let my mind escape to another time and place and kept me grounded. I've never read anything like it- a sturdy but delicately carved social history of rural England in the final decades of the nineteenth century with a lacquer of fiction applied to it. ...

My order from the #FolioSociety sale arrived today. Here is the cover, along with some of the lovely illustrations, from the tagged book. #foliofreaks #foliofridays I blame @DeborahSmall and @elkeo for at least two of these books. 😂 #blameitonlitsy
This one keeps calling to me lately ... Time for a reread, I think.
so-soThis one isn't in the database. A 100 page illustrated non-fiction book about the life in and around Lark Rise Country, recommended only for fans. It's not bad, but there are lots of pages of charts about current parish attendees and things like that, and I was hoping for a little more non-fiction about what the countryside was like during Flora's life. Still interesting, and a nice reference. Plus, real-life Zillah photos! 👍🏼
Lark Rise, take me away! Even with avoiding all tv and non-bookish internets, friends are still texting me. Ack, what is going on in this world?!?
