About John Moore (British writer)
John Cecil Moore was a British writer and conservationist. He was described by Sir Compton Mackenzie as the most talented writer about the countryside of his generation. His best-selling trilogy, published in the years immediately after the Second World War – Portrait of Elmbury, Brensham Village and The Blue Field – was followed by a series of novels and self-styled 'country-contentments'. Moore was the author of more than 40 published works, most of which explored themes relating to rural life in the first half of the 20th century.
