I collect books about Buckinghamshire and although I have the Alison Uttley book of Buckinghamshire when I saw another copy in a charity shop in Wendover (in the days when I was allowed to go upstairs, way before 'elf and safety) I bought it for £1.50. Alison Uttley writes a 'roses round the door' view of the past but someone had written this on the frontispiece of the book which is more true to life. Undated, unsigned so I don't have any idea who wrote it - and I've written on the back of the photocopy that it was an ex-Northamptonshire Library book.....
