Still Glides the Stream (Used)

By (author): Flora Thompson. Flora Thompson's 1948 novel follows Charity Finch, a retired schoolmistress who returns to her native village of Restharrow after 24 years away. Standing again at a familiar church stile, she is drawn into extended memories of the 1880s — the people, family ties, and rural customs of her childhood — contrasting a village outwardly little changed with the near-total disappearance of the community she once knew.
