Williamson explains in his introductory \u2018Note\u2019 dated \u2018Christmas, 1931\u2019 that \u2018<em>The Labouring Life<\/em>&nbsp;is not intended as a guide to farm-work; it is a collection of short stories and sketches which have bases in reality, or what seemed to have happened in one village and its neighbourhood as seen through the author\u2019s eyes. Like its fellow,&nbsp;<em>The Village Book<\/em>, it is an imaginative work, created for two reasons: first, for the reader\u2019s entertainment; second that the spirit and letter of village life in the decade following the Great War be contained for future students of English country life. [&#8230;] While writing the antecedent&nbsp;<em>Village Book<\/em>&nbsp;it seemed that property was the root of all evil; but since the writer has left the village of Ham, where most are small property-owners, there has been time for reflexion, whereafter it would appear that the problem is one of narrowness of interest. Newspapers, wireless, motorbuses, higher wages which mean better dwellings, better food and clothes (especially raincoats), all these are tending to remove, for the time being, the greatest enemy of mankind \u2013 fear\u2019 (pp. 9-10). Whimsically, the frontispiece shows Williamson fishing, or, as the caption has it, \u2018A Typical Day in the Author\u2019s Life\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"423\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_06.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_06-350x247.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_06-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_06-496x350.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Labouring&nbsp;Life<\/em>&nbsp;was generally very well received.

In 1945 most of the stories from both&nbsp;<em>The Labouring Life<\/em>&nbsp;and its predecessor&nbsp;<em>The Village Book<\/em>&nbsp;(1930) were published (in a new arrangement and revised form) by Faber and Faber Limited as&nbsp;<em>Life in a Devon Village&nbsp;<\/em>and<em>&nbsp;Tales of a Devon Village<\/em>&nbsp;respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_02.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_02-350x282.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/2602_02-300x242.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This signed, limited issue of the first edition appeared in the same year as the more common, cloth-bound trade issue, which was published by Jonathan Cape in an edition of 4,000 copies in May 1932. The limitation of 122 signed copies (of which, according to the limitation statement, 118 were for sale) was apparently determined by the number of subscribers, and this edition also contains a seven-page \u2018Preface, or What You Will\u2019 dated \u201825th February, 1932\u2019, \u2018in which Williamson addresses the issue of \u201ctruth\u201d in the book with reference to an incident he had deleted from \u201cSurview and Farewell\u201d\u2019 (Matthews). This preface was not included in the trade edition and the full text was only reprinted some sixty years later, when it was included in J. Gregory\u2019s edition of&nbsp;<em>Threnos for T.E. Lawrence and Other Writings<\/em>&nbsp;(Longstanton, 1994).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unusually, this copy retains the original celluloid dustwrapper with its paper flaps; due to the friable nature of celluloid, dustwrappers of this type from the early twentieth century rarely survive in such good condition.
