When in 1947 the young writer Ronald Blythe first visited Bottengoms Farm on the Essex-Suffolk border, the ancient house of the artists John and Christine Nash, he could not have guessed that this would in time become his own home and the centre of the writing life. The old farm nestled in a valley, in a landscape little changed since the middle ages, immediately surrounded by a richly stocked garden created by the Nashes from the flinty fields. It was to bring him fame with publication of his study of rural life, "Akenfield" (1969), now a Penguin Modern Classic.
"At the Yeoman s House" is not merely a spellbinding fragment of autobiography, but also a fascinating picture of the history, topography, botany and folk-lore From his current perspective, Blythe looks back with affection to the friendships with artists, writers, farmers, gardeners and neighbors that were to enrich his life.
