"Small Talk at Wreyland. Second Series" by Cecil Torr is a collection of essays or narratives written in the early 20th century, more specifically published in 1921. The text seems to reflect a blend of local history and personal memoirs centered around the village of Wreyland in Devonshire, exploring themes of social change and the evolution of local customs over time. Notably, it captures the charm and peculiarities of rural life, perhaps through the lens of a narrator deeply connected to the community. At the start of this volume, the author provides context about Wreyland, a hamlet in Devon, and expresses a desire to preserve local knowledge amidst the passing of older generations. He recounts historical observations, such as the introduction of new technologies like motor cars and airplanes, and reflects on the nostalgia for simpler times through reminisces about transportation methods of the past. These reflections establish a sense of continuity while documenting the transformation of rural life, as the narrator shares anecdotes and insights that bridge traditional and modern experiences within the community.

Reading ease score: 73.4 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
