Half Sick of Shadows by LEE TORRANCE with George Baker Jo Manning Wilson and Henry Knowles
In the fields the corn stood high
And in the distance met the sky,
As a knight went riding, riding by, On the road to London
Town.
And he did love a fair lady,
Whose heart was his entirely,
She waited for him faithfully
While he rode to London
Town.

How far back can living memory go? Sometimes it needs only two generations to reach the beginning of the 19th century. ' The rebels have advanced as far as Derby.'
' " I have been sent by the Almighty to kill you," said the intruder. " Then don't you think we'd better protect the carpet? said the Duke.'
' In bad weather a foot-man would wait after breakfast with an umbrella to escort her down the garden to the closet.'
' He never went out to look after his sheep without taking his books, and he taught himself Latin.' Joan Yorke presents recently recorded memories about life in Britain long ago.
