Village Hours : Over 27000 Ronald Blythe Titles Sold
$23.99Britain’s best loved rural writer chronicles the progress of the seasons in the Stour valley village where he has lived and worked among artists, writers, farmers and, increasingly, commuters. For all the changes in the contemporary countryside, timeless qualities remain and both are captured here with a poet’s understanding and imagination. The year takes its shape from the seasons of nature and the feasts and festivals of the Christian year. Each informs and illuminates the other in this loving celebration of nature’s gifts and neighbourly friendship. Literature, poetry, spirituality and memory all merge to create an exquisite series of stories of our times. These short essays first appeared in the Word From Wormingford column, a popular back page feature of the Church Times for almost twenty years.

Talking To The Neighbours

Though intimately local to three villages along the Stour Valley, in whose churches he gave the talks on which this book is based, Ronald Blythe’s voice is that of a poet, transcending boundaries of place and time with a universal appeal.

Priest To The Temple Or The Country Parson
$20.99George Herbert, who died before he was forty, found his vocation as a poet in the last six years of his life and as a priest in the last three. It was a time of low standards for the Church and its ministry and from his parish at Bemerton near Salisbury he set about reflecting on what his role should be. The result was A Priest to the Temple, a text of deep devotion and beauty and a classic statement on the nature of priestly ministry that is unparalleled in its practical and timeless wisdom. Some thirty devotional poems, ranging across the poets life are also included here.
