Description Author Information Reviews

Ronald Blythe invites us into the company of his neighbours and friends to hear his reflections on the natural and local history, the liturgy, stories, village events and gossip that shape and unite their lives. Though intimately local, his voice is that of a poet, transcending boundaries of place and time with a universal appeal. 'Man of letters, man of faith, Suffolk man: Ronald Blythe is all of these.' Tiimes Literary Supplement

Ronald Blythe

Ronald Blythe CBE is considered one of the greatest writers on the English countryside. His work, which has won countless awards, includes Akenfield (a Penguin 20th Century Classic and a feature film). In 2006 he was awarded the Royal Society of Literature’s prestigious Benson Medal. His many columns for the Church Times, collected in ten volumes, described life at his home of Bottengoms Farm, Suffolk, where he lived and worked until his death in early 2023.

"In one sens this is a book to nurture the soul of country dwellers. In another sense this is a book to re-inspire confidence in the potential of the teaching ministry of the rural church when the ministry of preaching is placed in capable lay hands." Leslie Francis, University of Wales, Bangor, RURAL THEOLOGY, Vol.3 Part 1, 2005, Issue 64.
