Fussey, Joyce - Calf Love. 1987 reprint; a bit strange as it's a hardback but has "... This Robson paperback edition first published in 1987" as the last line of the printing history on the verso of the title page. The third book in the Westwath saga. The towndweller's idyllic concept of country life - all that standing and staring - is nothing like the reality. Clocks stop not because time is of no importance but because people are too busy to wind them up, says Joyce Fussey. And she should know! Townies themselves, the Fussey family (Joyce and Gordon, their three young sons and Joyce's mother) moved from Kingston-upon-Hull to a smallholding in a fold of the North yourk Moors. There they were immediately taken in hand by a gang of assertive animals - sheep, cows and calves, even cats, all seemed to think that they knew better than these newcomers. This hilarious chronicle of their farming ups and downs takes us through both the departure of old friends, as cows Rosie and Bluebell move on to Greener Pastures, and the arrival of new ones - no less eccentric! It also takes Westwarth tentatively into the mechanical age; a neighbour who couldn't bear to watch Joyce 'pulling her guts out' lent them a hay-turner, a baler inched its way across the beck, and Gordon bought yet another morris Traveller (apparently to store hay in...). Neighbours, friends and visiting Boy Scouts leave their mark, while even Wildie, a domineering mallard duck, adds a contribution to the havoc wrought by her own family. (Flap). 9" x 5ź", 144pp, green cloth, hardback. Spine sunned; very good plus (no inscriptions, no bumps, not ex-library), probably unread, complete with very good, price-cut, wrapper.

To those who have never seen it, the Front is a mystic region, its actual appearance outside the scope of imagination. The writer's endeavour has been to bring back a picture of what he saw and present it in simple narrative form, so that those at home may know what sort of country this terrible conflict is being fought over, what Belgium and France are suffering under the ruthless heel of the invader, and with what sublime devotion and umnparalleled cheerfulness our heroic soldiers are facing death Out There'. The back board has an advert for Fry's Cocoa, the caption is: 'Hungry Hun from water-logged trench sniffing the aroma of Cocoa: "Hi! Tommy, Haf You Fry's? We Plenty Water Haf".
