Book description

At the turn of the twentieth century, John taylor, a Yorkshire apprentice grocer, was out of work. Half a pound of butter on a table in the front window of his home, and his wife’s delicious jams made from fruit from his brother’s market were the beginnings of his village shop..Its a fascinating little slice of social history, describing life lived in a village shop that was at the centre of a small community.
