Lark Rise to Candleford

Common card · No. 383763

Lark Rise to Candleford is a trilogy of semi-autobiographical novels by Flora Thompson about the countryside of north-east Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, England, at the end of the 19th century. The stories were previously published separately as Lark Rise in 1939, Over to Candleford in 1941 and Candleford Green in 1943. They were first published together in 1945. The stories relate to three communities: the hamlet of Juniper Hill (Lark Rise), where Flora grew up; Buckingham (Candleford, one of the nearest towns, including aspects of Brackley and Bicester); and the nearby village of Fringford (Candleford Green), where Flora got her first job in the Post Office.
