Still Glides the Stream by Flora Jane Thompson

Still Glides the Stream is considered a minor classic and a fictionalised, if autobiographical, social history of rural English life in the late 19th and early 20th century. It was written by Flora Jane Thompson, an English novelist and poet famous for her semi-autobiographical trilogy about the English countryside, Lark Rise to Candleford.
Flora Thompson was born in 1876 in Juniper Hill in Oxfordshire, the rural hamlet that she describes in Lark Rise. She was a bookish child who dreamt of being a writer. Her mother taught her to read before she started at the village school. She left school at fourteen to work as an assistant postmistress. She married in 1903 and moved to Bournemouth where she started writing her famous trilogy in her 60s. The three books were published between 1939 and 1943. Thompson died in 1947.
