An enchanting autobiographical novel set in the Welsh borders and evoking the essence of childhood and a vanished way of life. Nine-year-old Lucy describes the great events - haymaking, harvesting, a seaside holiday - of her time, set against a tapestry of the everyday - the routines of summer and winter with the constant background of the garden outside. And there is the world of the imagination, too: the invested heroes and heroines of childhood whose deeds are important as any real person. Originally published to great acclaim in 1934.
