Children of the Dale

Children of the Dale is a story based loosely on the author’s childhood during the Second World War in the dales of east Cumbria, in Ravenstonedale and Mallerstang, between Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh.

Set on a small farm, the adventures include two children, their cousins in neighbouring Mallerstang and the animals of the farm. Each chapter is a separate adventure with plenty of local characters and colour. This book captures the spirit and innocence of a bygone age.
