to order

The Country ChildWhen the great oak bough crashes to the ground, Susan is lucky to escape unharmed. But Susan specially loves the trees, though sometimes in the Dark Wood on her four-mile walk to school she can feel frightened...

Susan lives on an isolated farm, and the birds and the animals, the seasons and storms, the beauty and mysteries of the surrounding countryside are her way of life. It is part of her and she is part of it.

This entrancing story of growing up in the countryside, by the author of the Little Grey Rabbit books, was inspired by Alison Uttley's own childhood.
