Louie: Complete & Unabridged (Audio cassette, Unabridged edition)

Set against the backcloth of two World Wars and farming life as it was in rural Oxfordshire, this is the best-selling true story of Louie between 1910 and 1943, the wife of a prosperous Oxfordshire farmer and a country lady. Louie's amusing and tempestuous story is brought to life by her daughter Doreen, who vividly evokes a world of horse-drawn traps, milking by hand, clean-air, cottage hospitals and childhood innocence. She describes a rural community in which people's lives moved with the season's, a hard life as farm help and midwife, but a life of fulfillment too.
