The Hollow Land

by Jane Gardam


Review this book!

An evocative history of two English families whose lives become closely intertwined. The Batemans are well-to-do Londoners who rent a house in the Yorkshire countryside each year from the Teesdales, who have farmed the region all their lives. The families become close friends of each other, and the Bateman and Teasdale children grow up together.

Publisher Notes

Young Harry Bateman comes from London with his family year after year to spend the summer at Light Trees Farm in the Cumbrian fells country, until he feels that it is his real home.

Media Reviews

"[The author's] work has always created problems of classification; when she writes about children, it is in a way that does not exclude an adult readership. 'The Hollow Land' is typical in this respect: there is not a limited, trite or chatty observation in it....Underlying the engaging plots of these stories--plenty of frolics and fun--is a single theme: attachment to a special locality."
