FAIRLESS, Michael [150] pp. Duckworth 1931 8 1/2" x 6 1/2" Illustrated by E. W. Waite The Roadmender, a devotional country book, was very much to early Edwardian taste, clearly tou ched a melancholy nerve and achieved popular classic status.

The place was West Sussex-the Adur Valley, and Michael Fairless turned out to be a woman-Margaret Barber. Show more
