BEING THE LAST DAYS OF
FREDERICK BETTESWORTH
By George Bourne
Bettesworth, the old Surrey labourer, is typical of his class, a
type of Englishman who is becoming rare as time goes on. We hear his
natural, unconscious talk, good tempered, racy of the soil. The book
is a study, photographic in its exactness, of a national type, a
character sturdy, honest, and hard working; of simple needs and very
small earnings; one whose last days must inevitably be spent in want,
yet who is withal uncomplaining and jovial to the end.
