Country Walks and Lardy Cakes: An Enlightening Year in Southern England

Description: In 1970, the Christopherson family spent a year in Southern England. This is a lighthearted, true story of one American family's adjustment to English society, their trips around the country, the fun they had, and the things they saw. The events that take place in Country Walks and Lardy Cakes are true stories that run along the lines of a Miss Read story, except that instead of Fairacre and Thrush Green, the adventures occur in Chandler's Ford, four miles south of Winchester. Most of the stories are short and amusing takes on English life from an American's point of view. We may both speak English, but yes, there are hilarious differences. The Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 taught us that. Also, Vi Christopherson speaks of the backyard birds and the wildlife encountered in daily living. In addition to the written descriptions, there are over a hundred hand drawn, color, and black and white pictures. This is a nice, leisurely book to read on your spare time, and it is 100% child friendly. There is nothing more scary than the cow attack Vi Christopherson encountered while crossing an English field.
