520    This book is a compilation of short stories originally 
       published in several series in The Lady's Magazine. Volume
       1 covers a period of about 18 months, then later, Volume 2
       chronicles the changes when Miss Mitford returns to the 
       village some 2 years later. The book's subtitle is 
       "sketches of rural character and scenery"... and this 
       perfectly describes its contents. People and nature are 
       minutely observed and the language reflects Miss Mitford's
       exquisite eye for detail and love of the changing seasons 
       and the impact they have on the flora and fauna around 
       her. The village characters are described mainly fondly, 
       but not without the occasional wry reference to their 
       faults! In her introduction to a later edition, Anne 
       Thackeray Ritchie quotes from Miss Mitford's reply to 
       William Elford when asked if her characters and 
       descriptions are true... "Yes, as true as is well 
       possible...you, as a great landscape painter know that in 
       painting a favourite scene you do a little embellish and 
       can't help it, you avail yourself of happy accidents of 
       atmosphere, if anything be ugly you strike it out, or if 
       anything be wanting, you put it in. But still the picture 
       is a likeness." But even if seen through rose-coloured 
       lenses, these gentle little sketches conjure up a time and
       place long gone and transport us for a while to another, 
       simpler world.
