A Farm In Picardy is a memoir written by Dora Nelson in 1919. The book is a detailed account of her experiences living on a farm in the Picardy region of France during World War I. The author and her husband, both British citizens, moved to the farm in 1914, just before the outbreak of the war. They were forced to adapt to a new way of life as they navigated the challenges of living in a war-torn country. The book provides a unique perspective on the war, as it is written from the point of view of a civilian living in a rural area. Nelson writes about the daily struggles of life on the farm, including the difficulties of growing crops and caring for animals during wartime. She also describes the impact of the war on the local community, including the arrival of refugees and the presence of soldiers. Throughout the book, Nelson reflects on the human cost of war and the toll it takes on both individuals and society as a whole. She also provides insight into the resilience and strength of the French people during this difficult time. Overall, A Farm In Picardy is a compelling and thought-provoking memoir that offers a unique perspective on World War I. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
