Alison
Hartfield spent her childhood in an isolated North Wiltshire village during
the nineteen twenties, and subsequently trained as a teacher of young
children in Salisbury.
Set in the nineteen twenties A Mile for the Milk traces the impact of
rural upbringing and a now vanished way of life upon the author and her
sisters. The values instilled, the country school, the village, the times
and the seasons, all combine to provide a “childhood of unimaginable
richness”.
The author’s memories of those fleeting years are beautifully illustrated
by Judith Wall’s line drawings. The book will appeal to all those
who share the author’s love of the countryside.
