Bøger af F.C. Hodder

"A Short History of Sunningdale" evolved from a series of articles in the local parish magazine following requests for information from inhabitants of the village. F.C.Hodder's carefully researched historical facts, along with his personal recollections from his long association with Sunningdale, beginning in the Victorian age, create a unique and captivating blend of anecdote and history. Informative chapters include the influence of nunneries and monasteries as well as the activities of local authoritarian figures with original references (old English) and some revealing financial accounts of the period. The concluding chapters trace the development of the schools, the parochial charities, and the connections between Sunningdale and the Royalty. The further foreword by Mr Hodder's granddaughter, Bridget Wade, contains previously unknown details concerning the character of the author and the circumstances under which he wrote this book.
