It did for me. I'm only on page 22 and i want to read more


message 13: by Esther (new)

Esther Sullivan | 15 comments I am enjoying this book I find it absorbing and love looking into the past and how things worked. I think it is because I am a Suffolk girl and have a lot of history here.

Aiming to finish this today as oh is out this afternoon with my 2 year old and home tonight but I am loving it. It's really pulling me in the book makes me think I am there


message 16: by Robert (new)

Robert Newell I'm glad you are enjoying the book, I love reading it, the imagery is very strong ad makes you feel like you are there. The book featured briefly on the TV programme 'The Great British Menu' on Friday when Martin Bell (a guest on the show) talked about the fact that it was one of the most popular books during WW2. Soldiers took the book with them to the trenches to remind them of the countryside of England.

I can't seem to pick this up without paying a small fortune to pay. Does anyone know of a site with a cheap download?

Robert Newell http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corduroy-Be...

Try E-bay, for some reason Amazon seems more expensive. The above link is £3.50 inc P&P
