Along Featherbed Lane - Paperback

by Chris Beech (Author)

The journey from Bristol to the tiny hamlet of

Bromley near Stanton Drew took just over half

an hour in the removal van. However, on their

arrival, five year old Christine and her family

were plunged head first into a strange white

world in which snow had 'pitched'.

Happiness was soon to be threatened by ill

health and poverty. However, the family pulled

through together, helped by the kindness of

their new friends and neighbours.

Christine's account of a West Country

childhood in the 1960s and 1970s brims over

with affectionate anecdotes of these people,

set against the beautiful backdrop of village

life in the Chew Valley.
