Breakfast The Night Before by Marjorie Quarton
With rare brio and eye for character, incident and idiosyncrasy, Quarton lovingly documents a world of country people, eccentric relatives, home cures and recipes, and unaffected living. Breakfast the Night Before is both entertaining and enduring.
“I defy anyone, even the non-horsy minded, to dip into Breakfast the Night Before and put it down without reading to the endThis special blend of humour crosses the divides of age, sex, religion and social standing.” —The Irish Times “It makes riveting reading and I was desperately disappointed when I reached the final page all too soon. Marjorie Quarton is a natural storyteller” —Grania Willis, The Irish Field “Mrs Quarton writes with wit. Her experiences are related in a lovely, dry style which does not conceal her deep love for horses and understanding of that strange animal which is the human being. Breakfast the Night Before is a passport to another world that anyone can enjoy, and I recommend it highly.” —Morgan Llwelyn, author of Lion of Ireland and The Horse Goddess
