Coleshanger: Recollections from an English village

“If it can be said a village has a life, then this is a biography. ” Norman Williams (1908-1969)

“Coleshanger people are pretty bad, ” said Uncle Edward. “They won’t cross water after sunset. And they have to be in bed by midnight, otherwise they think that they'll be turned into baboons and apes. They also worship the flea. ”

Written in 1952, Coleshanger is a humorous, whimsical and charming recount of English village life in the early part of the last century, a tale waiting seventy years to be heard, but still very much the story of us today.
