Talking to the Neighbours by Ronald Blythe

These seasonal reflections weave together literature, poetry, biography, botany, nature and scripture to offer incisive comment on contemporary life. Rooted in the locality where Ronald Blythe lives and works, here is a world that we all recognize immediately as being in the places where we ourselves live. They resonate richly with the pattern of the natural and the liturgical year, and provide a profound and elegant commentary on the way that we experience the sacred through the everyday. Many began as addresses given in local churches by Ronald Blythe in his capacity as Reader in the Church of England.
Ronald Blythe is one of today's foremost literary figures. His work, which has won numerous literary awards, includes "Akenfield" (recently reissued as a Penguin 20th Century Classic - it was also made into a feature film), "Private Words", "Word from Wormingford", "Divine Landscapes", "Going to Meet George" and numerous other titles.
