Ronald And I; Or Studies From Life
'Ronald And I; Or Studies From Life' Summary
Alfred Pretor's "Ronald and I" is a charming and nostalgic collection of essays that captures the essence of English village life in the late 19th century. Pretor, a Cambridge don and classicist, writes with affection and humor about 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.Book Details
