Vicar's Diary

By David Wilbourne

Book Overview

The heartwarming story of a young vicar's first taste of village parish life in the Yorkshire of the 1960s.Inspired by memories of times past, A Vicar's Diary brings alive a rich tapestry of people and places in the Vale of York. In it the new vicar meets such colourful characters as Doris Harsley, who swears the new clergyman has a miraculous way with rubber plants, or the pensioners of the Eastwith home, who manage to do virtually anything with their communion bread except eat it. Written with the contagious humour and warmth of a James Herriot classic, David Wilbourne has given us a delightful read--funny, affectionate and touching, with more than a hint of nostalgia. With his extraordinary ability to turn you from laughter to tears and back again, he celebrates the richness of human life.
