High Rising by Angela Thirkell. This book was published during the war years Undated c1940s. Publisher and date page has been removed.

In High Rising, Mrs Thirkell writes the light, unforced comedy of a widow making her living as a novelist to enable her to educate her sons. In this charmingly human story, the dialogue is as humorous as all Angela Thirkells stories, and in Tony, the young son, the author has created one of the most lovable small boys we have met in fiction.
