Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Set against the backdrop of a changing 19th-century English countryside, this book delves into the lives of the Rideout family, tenant farmers grappling with the encroachment of industrialization on their traditional way of life. As ancient Sherwood Forest dwindles under the pressures of enclosure and modernization, the Rideouts find themselves at odds with the evolving social and economic landscape. The author skillfully weaves together themes of family loyalty, resistance to change, and the enduring connection between humans and the natural world. The narrative explores the complexities of rural life, where age-old customs clash with the demands of progress. Through the experiences of Nell, a young woman disguised as a ploughboy, and her brother Tant, a member of a clandestine group resisting industrial machinery, the book examines the human cost of societal transformation. With vivid descriptions of the Nottinghamshire countryside and its inhabitants, this book offers a poignant reflection on the loss of tradition and the enduring spirit of those who strive to preserve their way of life. The author's insights into the struggles of a rural community facing the forces of modernity remain relevant, reminding us of the delicate balance between progress and the preservation of our heritage.
