Ronald And I; Or Studies From Life

by Alfred Pretor

This collection of essays offers a glimpse into English village life in the late 19th century. Alfred Pretor, an English Cambridge don and classicist, provides a detailed and affectionate portrait of the people, customs, and traditions of his rural community. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the local church and its rector to the village school and its children. Pretor's writing is both informative and engaging, offering a valuable insight into a way of life that has largely disappeared.
