<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Following on from <i>Portrait of Elmbury, </i>the second in the series shows an England which now seems almost foreign in its remoteness.Evoked with an unerringly accurate eye, <i>Brensham</i><i> Village</i> contains a mixture of action and character, conveying the life of a country community in the halcyon period between the wars.Sentimental it is, but not so as to undermine the picture of a time when a life of landed gentry, squalid poverty and routine village intimacy co-existed within a familiar seasonal routine.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>John Moore (1907-1967) was a British author and pioneer conservationist. He was born in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire in 1907 and died in Bristol in 1967. His most famous work was Portrait of Elmbury, published in 1945, about life in Tewkesbury in the early 20th century. This work, along with <i>Brensham Village</i> and <i>The Blue Field</i>, formed part of the 'Brensham Trilogy'. Most of his books had a rural setting and long before conservation came to mainstream media attention he wrote about the effect of technological advances on the countryside and rural life.</p>
