Ronald Blythe has spent his life among the artists and writers of his native Suffolk. His books, especially the bestselling "Akenfield", have given East Anglia a distinctive literary voice. Here we accompany Ronald through the lanes of Constable country, we observe him in his study following his early morning writing routine, we meet John Clare, Traherne and countless other writers who continue to influence him, we join him in the ancient tradition of Anglican worship season by season, and luxuriate in the simple beauty of his ancient farmhouse and its garden, made by the artist John Nash. Literature, poetry, spirituality and memory all merge to create exquisite stories for our times.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    If you are a Ronald Blythe fan you know before you start that you are going to have a very pleasurable read. He lives in an ancient farmhouse set in rural Suffolk, at Wormingford, familiar to all readers of the back page of the Church Times. His reminiscences, anecdotes of those he has met during his long life, descriptions of his daily tasks and duties, are all told in flowing sentences that keep you reading with a smile of enjoyment on your face, and when you reach the end, wishing for more. I read the piece entitled ‘The Bookshelf Cull,’ page 41, with complete empathy, you should see my shelves!
