Fred Archer Country Through Time

Fred Archer Country Through Time Synopsis

Fred Archer was from Ashton-Under-Hill, a village about 25 miles south of Birmingham in the Vale of Evesham, Worcestershire - a mostly agricultural area with rolling hills, hedgerows, fields and orchards, even today. Nearby Bredon Hill is a local landmark. It was brought even more fame by Fred's many, much loved, highly descriptive books, which brought to vivid life the lively and colourful characters of the countryside community and a way of life that has, sadly, vanished. Fred Archer Country Through Time is a carefully-chosen collection of old and modern photographs with captions chosen from Fred's books, depicting the countryside that Fred loved so much and which he portrayed with the truth, humour and pathos for which he is so fondly remembered. A charming book that is sure to delight Fred's many fans and win him many more.
