==Synopsis==
Annie Sugden's Country Diary is Annie's own account of her childhood and early adult life in Beckindale. It's the story of the long, hot summers between the wars, the village school and the open fields.
Here are Annie's heart-warming memories of the good times and the hard times amongst honest working folk in the Yorkshire dales. Her sensitive musical mother; her down-to-earth, prosaic father; her first and truest love, Laurence Stanton, and her reluctant marriage to Jacob Sugden.
In this Country Diary, Annie tells us what rural life was really like when she was growing up - all the hints that helped 'make do' during the war, the attitudes of the farming folk. This is Annie's life right up until she became the owner of Emmerdale Farm. It's the Diary of a country lass who loves life, despite its trials and tribulations.
