What led you to pick up this book?
I read and do research on diaires – especially ones with a countryside content.
Describe the book.
The years 1885 and 1886 as seen through the eyes of the Vincent family – a Victorian gentry family from near Bangor in North Wales. The original book in which it was written was given by the family’s mother to Mollie Vincent to keep and on those odd occasions when she wasn’t available some of her brothers kept it. At first it takes some getting used top because the diarists wrote in the third person but overall it was a very enjoyable read and good insight into the 1880s of the Victorian country gentry.
Thoughts on the book jacket / cover.
A couple of good prints.
Would I recommend it?
Yes but nothing overly special.
