First published in 1954, The Unsought Farm is Monica Edwards’s story of how she and her husband Bill bought Punchbowl Farm, just outside Thursley in Surrey, near to the Devil’s Punchbowl. The new printing is being released in March 2025
From the publisher, Girls Gone By:
It is an absolutely fascinating book, with masses of black and white photographs, and really helps the reader to understand more about the adult Monica and the family.
Never before published by Girls Gone By, this is a must not only for fans of Monica Edwards, but also for all those interested in events of the mid-twentieth century.
We have two introductions, one called ‘Punch Bowl and Half House: Memories of Farm Life’ by Julia Edwards (no relation).and also ‘Growing Gold’ by Ali Catmore.
The Unsought Farm will be published in March 2025
