A Song for Every Season is Bob Copper's rich, affectionate memoir chronicling four generations of his Sussex farming family, tracing their lives from the mid-nineteenth century through to the mid-twentieth, weaving together oral history, folk tradition, and the rhythms of agricultural labour into a vivid tapestry of rural English life.\n\nCopper writes with the warmth and authority of a man who is both participant and witness, giving the book a rare authenticity that sets it apart from purely academic accounts of folk culture. The prose carries the cadence of the songs themselves — unhurried, rooted, and deeply felt — drawing the reader into a vanishing world of harvest suppers, sheep fairs, and parlour singing. A landmark work in the documentation of English folk music and rural heritage, it raises a profound question: what is lost when the last voice falls silent?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50736388309211,"sku":"2026200018508-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/54a052fb-7791-4ee5-9f86-9f3e445c36a4.png?v=1792122902","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018508-secondhand-a-song-for-every-season-a-hundred-years-of-a-sussex-farming-family","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
