While 'Lark Rise to Candleford', Flora Thompson's much-loved portrait of life in the English countryside, has inspired a hit television series, relatively little is known about the author herself. Here, Richard Mabey retraces her life and her transformation from a post-office clerk who left school at fourteen to a sophisticated professional writer.
