“Long before he became widely known for his contributions to the ‘oral history’ of farming in England, particularly in East Anglia, George Ewart Evans was a teller of tales and a poet.  Perhaps it was the narrative power and the poetry in the simple accounts he recorded of the memories of the old farmers and horsemen that particularly appealed to him at first.  And when he put his knowledge into fictional form in the volume of stories entitled Acky it was an instant success.
Here is an equally attractive collection of stories from his native Welsh valley; an industrialized area still showing the traces of a pastoral community.”
