A Farm in Normandy and the Return to the Farm

This fascinating and insightful book contains an account of Mrs Robert Henrey's personal experiences in France during the early twentieth century. This edition combines two of her books about the purchase of her farm in Normandy and her Family's subsequent evacuation during WWII, followed by her mother's return to the farm after the conclusion of the war. Henry's vivid portrayal of farm life, local characters, and the horrific effects of the war are superb, and make this book one not to be missed by anyone with an interest in this period of time or by collectors of her seminal literature. Many antique books such as this are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive, and we are proud to be republishing this book here in an affordable, high quality, modern edition complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.
