The Village - Alice Taylor

The Village - Alice Taylor
1992, paperback

If you drive through our village late on a winter's evening and take the wooded road towards West Cork a warm glow salutes you through tho open door of a small stone building with a roof mellowed by time and weather. Kuddled beneath a large beech tree beside the bridge at the entrance to Dromkeen Wood is Billy's Forge, where five generations of his family have shod horses, passing on their trade from father to son down through the years.
Alice Taylor paints a memorable portrait of village life in the third of her books of memoirs of country life. Its pages are full of character and characters, unfolding stories of ordinary people and everyday events.
They knew each other wei, as only people whose families have wed side by side for generations can know each other. Change had come in their lifetime but because they had lived so long with the old way they held on to it, taking it with them when they died.
