  <default_description>At the end of the 19th century, Lark Rise &#8211; an isolated hamlet deep in the Oxfordshire countryside &#8211; was a rough and ready place, simple in its routines and narrow in outlook. Its people lived by the land, and the village year followed that of nature&#8217;s cycle, as it had done for generations. They laboured from dawn till dusk, and would often find themselves on the brink of poverty, yet, for all the hardship, the inhabitants of Lark Rise led a happy life. A country wedding, dancing on the green &#8216;until dusk fell and the stars came out&#8217;, the gathering of cowslips for the May Day garland, the beauty of the ripened cornfields, the Harvest Home feast of hams, plum puddings and beer &#8211; such unselfconscious, joyous moments turned their lives into ones of real fulfilment and pleasure.</default_description>
