The Folk Afield is a novel written by the English author, Eden Phillpotts, and was first published in 1907. The story takes place in the rural countryside of Devon, England, and follows the lives of the local farmers and their families. The novel explores the themes of love, loss, and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving landscape.The main character of the novel is a young farmer named John Lee, who has recently inherited his father's farm. John is a hardworking and honest man who is deeply committed to his land and his community. He is also deeply in love with a local girl named Mary, but their relationship is complicated by the fact that Mary's father does not approve of John.As the novel progresses, John and Mary's relationship is tested by a series of challenges, including a devastating flood that destroys much of the farmland in the area. Despite these hardships, John remains determined to succeed and to build a better life for himself and his loved ones.Throughout the novel, Phillpotts paints a vivid and detailed picture of life in the English countryside, with its rugged landscapes, harsh weather, and close-knit communities. He also explores the complex relationships between the farmers and their families, as well as the tensions that arise between different social classes.Overall, The Folk Afield is a powerful and moving portrait of a way of life that has long since disappeared, and a testament to the resilience and determination of the people who lived it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
