Nodding wold

This is the flyleaf: NODDING WOLD A Friendly Man's account of what he found there and of the folk he met The Author of The Shining Highway and Winter Journey, having settled down in an old house in the country, writes smpathetically and often humorously of the twelve months he spends in Nodding Wold. He and his wife find life abundantly interesting; and though they discover that village folk are not always easy to understand, they make real friends and meet men and women of sterling character. In dark days such as these - for the shadow of war finally creeps over Nodding Wold – it is good to be reminded, as we are in these kindly, understanding pages, that there is much to thank God fpr and that life is essentially clean and sweet.
