I am just reading Full Hearts and empty bellies by Winifred Foley, didn't realise when I bought it that it was a re-write of A Child of the Forest (Not sure why they do that and re-name it). However, it bears re-reading as it is a wonderful tale of life in the Forest of dean from 1914. The same author also wrote in and out of the Forest. If anyone would like this copy when I have finished it I will happily post it to you.

Over to you Linda, thanks for PM. Rebecca check that she hasn't already read either this one or a Child in the Forest first, just in case as it has been printed under two different titles.

How did I miss reading this posting...?

Oh, just checked the date. I was probably out for a family birthday meal.

I'll look out for these books to gain an insight into my Forest folk.

Glad you enjoyed it. I don't know if they have revised it but when that first came out there was a sequel called, I think, In and out of the Forest.

I have sent a message to Rebecca, not opened yet, to see if she still wants the book.
She was to check if her MIL had read it before.

If I get no answer I will forward it to you. Then maybe you can send it on to her after.

If you agree you will need to send me a pm with your address.
