Under the Apple Boughs
By The Award-Winning Author Of The Batch Magna Novels Peter Maughan.
UNDER THE APPLE BOUGHS.
A journey in the mid 1980s through the seasons of a West Country year, stopping off for a favourite pub and to say goodbye to a dog called Bill Sikes.
A journey from a village and valley in the iron grip of a January morning, to the first healing colours of spring cutting into the land, to summer and the starched crackle of applause from the village cricket field, and the praise and harvest gifts in the church above the reaped fields, to the voice of Nathaniel, and a Christmas Eve in his memory when it was believed that at midnight the cattle knelt in their stalls, a voice speaking of a village England that was young still when he was.
