Description

Adrian Bell (1901-1980) was born in Lancashire and grew up in London but wished for a life in the open air.

In 1920 he apprenticed himself to a West Suffolk farmer, an experience that would inspire him to farm on his own.

His celebrated trilogy Corduroy (1930), Silver Ley (1931) and The Cherry Tree (1932) grew out of that same raw material. Silver Ley takes up at the conclusion of Bell's apprenticeship, whereupon he persuaded his parents to acquire a nearby farm of 50 acres where he could into practice what he had learned of farming.

However Bell was living through straitened post-war times that presented a challenge to even the most seasoned agricultural hands, and he had to endure seven lean years, though his commitment to the task he set himself never dimmed.
