Over to Candleford is a 1941 semi-autobiographical novel by the English author Flora Thompson.

[2] The novel follows the childhood of Laura Timmins in the small rural northern Oxfordshire hamlet of Lark Rise and the surrounding countryside.

[2] It is a study of her family and relatives in the nearby market town of Candleford (based chiefly on Buckingham).

According to Richard Mabey in his 2014 book Dreams of the Good Life, in this novel Laura's role is subtly changing from sharp observer of village life to someone reflecting on the rites of passage to adulthood, a novelist in embryo.
