Archer, Fred

The Tibblestone Hundred: Journey through an English Village

Sutton Pub Ltd. Stroud, Gloucestershire, 1996. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. In this work Fred Archer traces the history of the Tibblestone Hundred, from its beginnings, through the time when the Hundred Courts held sway in neighbours' disputes, up to his own era farming in the area, when the Hundred's successor in the Parish Council was all powerful. He describes how the villages in the Hundred competed against each other, and how he felt in a foreign land when, as a boy, he visited Sedgebarrow on Saturday mornings, his cart horses tied nose to tail in tandem. He recounts the legend of the Tibblestone itself, a story handed from man to boy since time immemorial, the holes in its sides being the impressions of a giant's fingers, and tells us of the superstitions surrounding this and other landmarks, which were such an important part of life for country folk in the early years of this century.

Bannatyne-Cugnet, Jo

A Prairie Year

Tundra Books, Montreal, Canada, 1994. First Edition, Hardcover (Printed Boards), Illustrated by: Yvette Moore. Near Fine Condition/Very Good. 9780887763342 writer Jo Bannatyne-Cugnet and artist Yvette Moore show family life on the prairies. "Each time a farmer plants a crop, it is an act of faith," writes Bannatyne-Cugnet. We witness how that faith is passed on from generation to generation through the months of the year. Grandparents teach the care of baby chicks, the planting of a vegetable garden, how to tell when grain is ripe. Children accept daily chores and special challenges: raising and grooming a show steer, and, in an emergency, midwifing a litter of pigs. Parents go out of their way, often very far out of their way, to turn hockey games, snowmobiling, fairs, auctions, Halloweening and the Christmas season into community events shared with neighbors. The text and pictures reveal Westerners as individuals who tower above the landscape; one likes these people, their optimism, their good nature, their friendliness, their energy. A Prairie Year is a celebration of people who care deeply about each other - all the more because of the distances that separate them. Size: Oblong 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 32 pages. one small closed tear (repaired) at top spine. Dust Jacket un-clipped. White titles spine. illustrated by full-page colour paintings.
