About:
"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."

The Roadmender Michael Fairless is a story of the road, a journey to a place where people live in a state of constant tension and struggle. The Roadmender is a compilation of the best advice Michael Fairless has given to readers who are on the road or in transit for whatever reason. From parking meters to traffic signals, from whatever passes as an adventure to whatever passes as a day at work, fair ol' Mike will help you navigate where you are, where you need to go, and how long it'll take. Take this book along with you wherever you go."

"This is a very direct book. It was published before the deluge of modern media. It struck a cord with so many because of its utter simplicity. It is a refuge to read it. Michael Fairless (a cover name) was sick in her 20s and 30s and clung on to an existence of simple mindfullness. She becomes a roadmender and watches people passing who she chats too. She asks little out of life ...just to look into the face of god and do her tasks in life ....I always have spare copies for friends ...the reason? ..in reading it I question the complications of modern life and am brought back to the basics that really matter"
