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. The depression of the 1930s is vividly brought to life, and a particularly affecting section details the migration of East Anglian farm-workers to the maltings of Burton-on-Trent. Sympathetically illustrated by David Gentleman, and containing fascinating period photographs, "Where Beards Wag All" is a touching and faithful portrait of the countryside of fading memory.
