Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First edition. 1st 1979. Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. The pioneering oral historian, George Ewart Evans, began to record the farming ways of East Anglia in the 1950s by listening to old men and women whose memories went back more than fifty or sixty years. Many were agricultural labourers, born before the turn of the century, who had worked on farms before the arrival of mechanisation. It was assumed at that time that horses would soon disappear from the farms, and that this was the last chance of recording the part they had played for centuries. It later became clear that this forecast was too pessimistic and this book describes in fascinating detail some important farms where horses continued to be beneficially used. Brown cloth boards, silver title to spine. B/w photos and illustrations. xiv and 222 pages including index. Ex-library with library name rubber stamped to base of text block, slight damage caused by removal of library label to free front endpaper. Text block browned. Tape mark to pastedowns. Library stamps to colophon page. Else contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly browned and lightly edge-creased. Packaged with care and promptly dispatched! N° de réf. du vendeur 1831926
