Good-plus in price-clipped dust-wrapper. George Ewart Evans was a Welsh schoolmaster who lived in the village of Blaxhall in Suffolk. He developed a fascination for the village, recording much of its history and way of life in the words of the inhabitants themselves. He later expanded his field of activity, eventually covering a wider are of East Anglia, as well as his home district in Wales. Evans wrote this particular book to demonstrate that however much academic investigators and their readers think they know, there is still no substitute for going and asking the people who were or are actually there. Perhaps the most striking example of this was the twenty years of plague outbreaks in Ipswich - with 75-80 percent mortality - which were not contained until 1918. .

From his landmark study of rural life in East Anglia, 'Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay' (1956), George Ewart Evans set about, in a series of books, unveiling the sylvan round of myth and merriment, plenty and hardship, that informed the traditions and texture of country living. Core to his chronicles is the oral tradition, echoing through the years, and it is this that he concentrates upon in Where Beards Wag All (1970). Here are the memories, unmediated and raw, of the craftsman, the drover, the marshman - a chorus to the seasons' constant turn. And it is by no means an idyll they describe: thrift and want, poverty and subjection are often their lyric.
