In 'Change in the Village', George Sturt presents a detailed examination of the transformation occurring in rural English villages during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through a mix of anecdotes, observations, and historical context, Sturt explores how industrialization and urbanization impacted traditional village life, from the decline of skilled crafts to the rise of modern conveniences. His prose is both poignant and informative, providing a unique glimpse into a disappearing way of life.

George Sturt, a self-taught craftsman and writer, drew on his personal experiences and keen observations to write 'Change in the Village'. His background allowed him a deep understanding of the intricacies of rural life and the impact of societal change on communities. Sturt's expertise shines through in his nuanced depiction of village life. I highly recommend 'Change in the Village' to readers interested in social history, rural studies, or the impacts of industrialization.
