Small Talk at Wreyland. Second Series

"Small Talk at Wreyland. Second Series" by Cecil Torr is a compilation of essays that paints a vivid picture of life in the Devonshire village of Wreyland in the early 1920s, touching on the themes of shifting social landscapes and how local life once existed. The book has a nostalgic tone; as it captures the unique appeal of rural existence, the narrator shares historical insights with a deep connection to the community. The author wants to protect the local traditions as older generations pass away. As new technologies like vehicles and planes come along, there is an emphasis of reflecting back on simpler paths, helping to connect traditional to modern-day life.
