About a Village

More about the book

"A stunning, heart-opening new book of photographs" - Val Easton, Seattle Times garden writer "About a Village succeeds in transporting even the most jaded urbanite to a far off place, frozen in time not because its inhabitants are unaware of the world around them, but because they prefer it that way. McCabe introduces his subjects to you like old friends, arms outreached, welcoming you in for (you guessed it) a hot cup of tea." - Flaunt Magazine What is it that makes the ideal English village? Firle in East Sussex is both unique and universal. First of all there is a pub and in no particular order come a school, a shop, a cricket pitch, a church, a stream, a bonfire society, allotments, flint walls and house martins. Above all, the village seems to contain that rarest of ingredients, delight.
