Although extracts from The Peverel Papers have been published previously, this is the first time they have been published in their entirety, in chronological sequence and in a single edition. It is a project which Flora herself wished to pursue just before her death, but never did so. Now, with the blessing of her granddaughter, we are pleased to bring that wish to fruition. They have been transcribed from the original Catholic Fireside magazines in which they were first published over the period 1921-27.

Flora Thompson

Flora Thompson was born in 1876 in Juniper Hill in Oxfordshire, the rural hamlet that she describes in Lark Rise. She was a bookish child who dreamt of being a writer. Her mother taught her to read before she started at the village school. She left school at fourteen to work as an assistant postmistress. She married in 1903 and moved to Bournemouth where she started writing her famous trilogy in her 60s. The three books were published between 1939 and 1943. Thompson died in 1947.
