The family lived at Coombe Bake, in the heart of Salisbury Plain. Sylvia Marlow presents the story of Winifred?s early life in her subject?s own words. We learn of a resourceful mother who raised her many children with a severity she felt was necessary to prepare them for the dangers of a harsh world. The story follows her from her home to her restricted life in domestic service where she felt ?like a wild thing in a cage? And then we travel with her through the years of the Great War until she eventually marries the only man to pass muster with her implacable mother. She was still alive at the age of ninety five when the book was first published.* This is a NEAR FINE copy with minimal shelf wear and library stamps reducing it to VG*. n.
