COUNTRY PLEASURES
PLOWMEN’S CLOCKS, by Alison Uttley, illustrated by C. F. Tunnicliffe; Faber and Faber. English price, 10/6. 4RS. UTTLEY is probably most widely known here for her Sam Pig. Tim Rabbit and Brock Badger books. She has written between 30 and
40. of these animal and country books; each one crammed catalogue full of minute details, recipes, records and observations.. And yet here is another with a thousand or more close and careful observations on country flowers, trees, weeds, hedges, animals and people-and, as far as I can find, not the least repetitious, It is the sort of book to put on a table near a sunny corner, handy to pick up for a few moments’ pleasure at the end of an afternoon’s gardening in autumn; certainly not a book to be read
‘at a sitting.
