Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In a remote corner of rural Essex, when ploughs were drawn by heavy horses and children walked shoeless to school, young Spike Mays lived with his family in a two-up, two-down cottage, where there was no electricity, no bathroom, no running water and just a shared privy in the back yard. Beset by poverty, this was an England in the shadow of the Great War. In this bittersweet memoir Mays recreates the village, its travelling parson, local poacher and even the local drunkard. And in the bustling backstairs world of the squire's house where Spike served his apprenticeship we see a more privileged side to life. This warm and nostalgic portrait of a very different Essex opens a door to a distant past. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Condition: Fair. Publishers Proof Copy. Foreword by Richard Church; Reuben s Corner has become a minor classic since it was first published in 1969. The author's realistic account of his childhood in an isolated hamlet recalls a rural way of life which has all but disappeared. In Bartlow Hamlet the road bends round by the cottage of Reuben Ford, Spike Mays's grandfather. This is Reuben's Corner, on the Camps road a mile from Ashdon, deep in the Essex countryside; and it was here that the author, christened Cedric, spent most of his childhood. Life was hard: there was never enough to eat, and children went to school in garments cut down from their parents' clothing. But young Ced also remembers the warmth and character of village life, whether he was singing in the church choir, working for the Squire cleaning silver, spying on courting couples in the fields, or poaching pheasants in the woods.
