Corduroy by Adrian Bell was published in England in 1930 and forms the first part of a farming trilogy now regarded as a countryside classic. It’s an account of an apprenticeship on a Suffolk farm just after World War One. The Penguin Books paperback edition came out in 1940 and was much prized by soldiers serving during the Second World War. Adrian Bell was the father of UK journalist and politician Martin Bell.
