| Summary: | Elisha Sage, headman to Mr Flindell, a prosperous bachelor farmer, is a figure of weight in his small village society, and each year is chosen as Lord of the Harvest, with absolute authority for the duration of the reaping, until the last waggon has been stackeed and brought home. The story of his fall from grace and restoration, and of Mr Flindell's winning of a bride is less important than the lovingly-drawn picture of village life, with its complex hierarchy and customs, which Matilda Betham-Edwards offers. |
