Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Edward Storey's topographical books on the fens have been imbued with a strong personal feeling for the area, but in this volume he writes an autobiographical account of how the place and the people influenced him. The book tells the story of a boy growing up during the 1930s and 1940s in the small fenland town of Whittlesey - a town that was then balanced precariously between agriculture and the brick industry. It is an intimate portrait of working-class life, where poverty and pride, religion and politics, were as deeply felt as love or, indeed, hate. The author has an unerring awareness of history and sets his story against the events of the past as well as the present. The values and traditions he learned from his grandparents, the early memories of his father's years in the brickyards, and his own efforts to find a wholly different way of life for himself, make this both a valuable social documentary and a sensitive evocation of a world that largely disappeared after World War II. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Pilgrim, Anne (illustrator). Not Quite a Horsewoman has, since its publication in 1982, delighted thousands of aspirant riders and horse owners. Now in its third edition and embellished with even more delightful cartoons by Anne Pilgrim, it will entertain a new generation of horse lovers as Caroline Akrill reveals the frequent disasters and the occasional triumphs of her long association with a string of equine characters. Ambitions and aspirations fall by the wayside as she tells the story of her leading rein pony, the saga of her show hack and the tale of her season as a hunting columnist. She remembers her first stable yard where she was exploited by her own working pupils, her brief career as a dealer operating from a small village pub, and the agonies of professionally producing show ponies as their owners waited at the ring-side with their livery cheques still unwritten. Engagingly witty, endearingly frank, sometimes surprising, but always amusing, Caroline Akrill regards the horse from the safety of the stable door and scrutinises him with candour and affection. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
