About this listen

Now in her early teens, Laura moves to the village of Candleford Green to work in the post office under the tutelage of her cousin Dorcas Lane, and grow into womanhood.

In Candleford Green, new ideas and new ways are coming in from the outside world, from Dorcas' famous telegraph machine to the scandalous sight of ladies riding bicycles. There are also new people entering Laura's life: the curmudgeonly old servant Zillah, the grand Sir Thomas, the Irish Harvesters and the ardent young gamekeeper Philip White.

As Laura adjusts to this world, the traditions and ways of her country childhood seem further and further away - and a different future beckons.

The last of three books bringing to life the small world of an Oxfordshire village in the 1890’s, a delightful conclusion.

Lovely relaxing listening specially for an Englishwoman!
