A re-creation of life in a Gloucestershire Parish Written by Anne Riddiford, a local writer, provides an informative and entertaining read. The work contains three hundred pages, including sketch maps, photographs and illustrations. Although it is a book dealing with local and social history throughout the last 100 years, it is not a heavy read. The collection of memoirs are written in an entertaining, and often humorous way. It is focused in life in Falfield, as it is written to raise much-needed funds for the parish church. However, the reader needs to have no previous knowledge of the village to appreciate the book, - just an interest in people and places as they were and a good sense of humour. Comments received on the book: "Congratulations! - I just can't put it down!" I've lived around here all my life and I'm discovering things I never knew before." "Please can I have another copy? - My wife and I are squabbling over who gets it first." Copies may be obtained by ringing 01454 418838
