Summary

In Golden Sheaves, Black Horses, Archer has recorded the beauty of the west of England and the villagers living in the area during the last decades of the 19th Century. Archer explained his decision to write about these stubborn and strong characters by saying: "I felt it would be such a pity if, when these characters died, their sayings, customs, ways of life, how they dressed, should vanish with them." Thanks to Fred Archer's powers of observation and memory, and above all his truthful turn of phrase, they never will.

A gentle and honest telling of a country life year as was.

I loved the glimpse into the individual lives of each character, the trials and tribulations as well as triumphs. Life back then wasn’t easy and although very different to life now there remain many similarities in love and loss, in day to day living and farming life all captured creatively and respectfully by Fred Archer.
