Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson

In the rural hamlet of Lark Rise and the market town of Candleford, life is marked by the pattern of the seasons and the customs of the countryside. Seen through the eyes of a young girl, Laura – based on Flora Thompson herself – Lark Rise to Candleford portrays May Day celebrations and forgotten children’s games, harvest times and traditional songs, farmworkers and craftsmen, friends and relations, rivalries and lasting friendships. Olivia Hallinan performs this abridged reading of Flora Thompson’s much-loved story.
