Presented as the papers of a man forced by ill health to give up an active career, this book follows his retreat to an old house in the English countryside. There he records the village church and its congregation, his neighbours, books, gardens and seasons, and his slow reconciliation with a narrower, more contemplative life.

A gentle, reflective book for readers who enjoy the quiet essays of the Edwardian age. Download the free EPUB.
