Candleford Green is a 1943 semi-autobiographical novel by the English author Flora Thompson. The village of the title is partly modelled on the Oxfordshire village of Fringford.[2]
In 1945 the book was republished as part of the trilogy Lark Rise to Candleford, comprising the novels Lark Rise (1939), Over to Candleford (1941), and Candleford Green (1943).[3]
The novel follows the life of Laura Timmins after her move at the age of 14 from her childhood hamlet of Lark Rise to the nearby village of Candleford Green where she takes up her first job as an assistant in the post office. The novel largely comprises a series of vignettes of the residents of Candleford Green.
