1920. The Roadmender, a devotional country book, was very much to early Edwardian taste, clearly touched a melancholy nerve and achieved popular classic status. When the book was published there was a great mystery surrounding who Michael Fairless was, and what locale did he describe with such love? The place was West Sussex- the Adur Valley, and Michael Fairless turned out to be a woman - Margaret Barber.
