Where the Skylark Flies

A little village on the North Cornish coast has little contact with the world outside. Several of the villagers have never come to terms with their losses suffered in the 1914-18 War.

But when in 1940 the Second World War spreads to East Africa, the villagers are suddenly made aware of a strange and exotic world outside, and old prejudices and beliefs are swept away.

About the Author
Denis Price served for a while attached to artillery and tank regiments in Germany before graduating at Oxford. He taught and lectured in many aspects of modern history, and travelled widely with his wife Mary, in North America, the Bahamas, Hong Kong and Eastern Europe, and lived more than twenty years in France in sight of the Pyrenees, where he wrote three novels set in ‘forgotten wars’. He and Mary then returned to her home in North Cornwall, this time, as he says, “in sight of the curve of the horizon”.
