"Small Talk at Wreyland. Third Series" by Cecil Torr is a collection of writings reflecting on local history and observations written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a third volume, following its predecessors, and appears to contain a mix of personal anecdotes, historical accounts, and commentary on the local culture and community of Wreyland in Devonshire. Through Torr's narrative, the reader is likely to get a glimpse into the quirks and charm of rural English life and the enduring nature of its traditions. At the start of the narrative, Torr sets the scene by describing the quaint and sleepy nature of Wreyland, while contrasting it with sudden bursts of activity, such as a cowboy filming scene and the echoes of past local figures who shaped its history. He introduces us to the local landscape and a brief historical anecdote regarding John Dynham, a lord of the manor whose scandalous love life sparked ecclesiastical scrutiny. Alongside this, Torr reflects on the memories of his own childhood, capturing the lively and often humorous spirit of local events and characters, which promise readers a rich tapestry of stories rooted in the author's love for his homeland and its peculiarities.
