Country Walks and Lardy Cakes

In 1970, the Christopherson family spent a year in Southern England. This is a lighthearted, true story of one American family's adjustment to English society, their trips around the country, the fun they had, and the things they saw. This book is along the lines of a Miss Read story, except the events do not take place in rural England, but instead, Chandler's Ford, four miles south of Winchester. Most of the stories are short and amusing takes on English life from an American's point of view. We may both speak English, but yes, there are hilarious differences. The Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 taught us that. Also, Vi Christopherson speaks of the backyard birds and the wildlife encountered in daily living. In addition to the written descriptions, there are over a hundred hand drawn, color, and black and white pictures that will appear in full color on a Kindle Fire or iPad, but black and white on paper. This is a nice, leisurely book to read on your spare time, and it is 100% child friendly. There is nothing more scary than the cow attack, Vi Christopherson encountered while crossing an English field. I read this book, and found it amusing and entertaining. That's saying a lot because I write Zombie fiction on the side. I hope you enjoy my mother-in-law's book. Sincerely, Frank Okusako, editor and formatter.
