Lead Review

• Book: The Book of Ebenezer Le Page
• Location: Guernsey
• Author: G B Edwards

There is another important character of course: Guernsey itself. My copy of the book included a map of the island but Edwards writes with such knowledge that you don’t need it. Not so much sketching as painting the landscape, it is a portrait filled with great affection. (W Rycroft)
It is a wonder that nobody I know has heard of this post-humously published book but it is one of the gems of twentieth century english novels as far as this reviewer is concerned and I recommend it strongly to those who are looking for an enjoyable tale to alter their perception of life and living (Dr M andrew)
