"Sketches of English life Character" is a vintage book by Mary Russell Mitford on the subject of English daily life, manners, and customs. Mary Russell Mitford (1787 - 1855) was an English dramatist and author best known for her book "Our Village", which contained a series of sketches of typical English village life and characters based upon life in Three Mile Cross, a hamlet in the parish of Shinfield, near Reading in Berkshire, England. Not dissimilar to "Our Village", this volume offers a unique glimpse into "the English", making it highly recommended for anyone with an interest in traditional English culture and customs. Contents include: "A Great Farmhouse", "A Country Cricket Match", "A Village Beau", "Tom Cordery", "Bramley Maying", "A Country Apothecary", "The Copse", "Whitsun Eve",
