"Back o' the Moon, and Other Stories" by Oliver Onions is a compilation of short stories set in the Yorkshire countryside of the early 1900s that examines the fabric of community and the weight of tradition. A new parson arrives in the village of Wadsworth and is greeted with both curiosity and doubt from the tight-knit locals. The parson's early days showcase the community's unique customs and quaint habits, and the narrative then captures the mix of landscape, eccentric people, and traditions as he navigates his new role. The stories highlight conflicts and interactions inside that closely-bonded society.
