_ Lark-Rise is a book, the first of a trilogy, _ written by a woman named Flora Thompson,
which describes her own childhood in an Oxfordshire hamlet in the _ 1880s.
And the three books take her up to the age of about _ 1820, I suppose.
Lark-Rise immediately became a classic, and is the classic [A] book _ describing [Ab] the transition
from an old [Dm] agrarian England [A] _ to an England that [G] we know today.
