y separately published work icon Peterley Harvest : The Private Diary of David Peterley Now for the First Time Printed Richard Pennington , London : Hutchinson , 1960 Z1368462 1960 single work novel 'The structure of the book is many-layered. It includes an anonymous diary within the diary, letters from known and unknown people, a ghost story by "Cousin Richard", a short story and a few poems by David Peterley, more than one love affair, some travellers' tales and an intermittent narrative of historical events. These layers of fantasy and actuality give the work a complex satisfying texture, and reinforce the central theme at private and public levels.' (Source: Holroyd, 'Preface', 1985 edition)
