The first collection of nature essays by the young Henry Williamson, who would later write Tarka the Otter. He watches swallows, nightjars, rooks and hawks, explores a deserted quarry in February, marks Lady Day in Devon and the incoming of summer, and writes of bird mystics, rubbish-heap scavengers and London children meeting wild flowers.
Close, lyrical observation of the English countryside from one of its finest twentieth-century writers. Download the free EPUB.
