For 80 years, Joan Bellan lived in or within a few miles of Buckland Monachorum, cradled between the austere heights of Dartmoor and her beautiful river Tavy. Eleven when the Great War broke out, Joan remembers the high infant mortality, the flu epidemic of 1919, and her mother's omnipresent yeast cakes. From tales ranging from cleaning the cutlery with emery powder and washing pig skins in the brook, to her engagement, emerges a portrait of a vanished age. No library descriptions found. |
