Unforgotten Exmoor Volume 2this is the second volume in a series of the social history of ordinary folk in a part of the world that most of us have forgotten or will never know. Reflecting on their ordinary lives, their stories are extraordinary, evoking a deeply nostalgic and affectionate portrait of bygone days in pre-war Exmoor.
These charming recollections of yesteryear will remind many of us that it was the sheer simplicity of the old days that made them so rewarding. For Barbara the new-fangled electric light hurt her eyes; Ivy was a Land-Girl; Jim played snakes and ladders or with his dogs outside, while Joan shared a bedroom with her grandmother. Conjuring up memories of places such as Barbrook, Brendon, Lynton, Bossington and Porlock, this second volume of Unforgotten Exmoor will delight those whose roots are in the area, who enjoy ‘real’ history in the oral tradition, and who regret the passing of old-fashioned country ways.
