Our Village
Produced by Les Bowler, and David Widger
"Our Village" by Mary Russell Mitford is a collection of pastoral sketches and reflections written in the early 19th century. This charming work paints an affectionate portrait of village life, focusing on the characters and landscapes around Mitford's home in Three Mile Cross, Berkshire. Through her vivid descriptions and engaging narrative style, the author draws readers into the simple joys, struggles, and unique personalities found in her rural community. At the start of the work, the author introduces the concept of village life as an intimate and comforting environment, rich with familiar faces and a sense of belonging. She expresses a deep appreciation for her surroundings, describing specific cottages and their inhabitants, which include a retired publican, a dedicated shoemaker, and a lively little girl named Lizzy. The opening also presents Mitford's reflections on the art of storytelling, the beauty of nature, and her poignant observations on the contrasts between idleness and hard work among the villagers. With her warm and engaging prose, Mitford invites readers to take a leisurely walk through her idyllic village, setting the stage for the exploration of its charming quirks and colorful characters found throughout the collection.
