Reseña del editor:

Part autobiography, part social history, The Quiet Vale gives glimses into the mind and observations of a very young child, describes rural life in Yorkshire before and during the Second World War, and recalls university life in the mid-nineteen forties. It depicts the sights and sounds of a vanished countryside, recalling with delicate humour.
