Walking beside the slow Cam, A. C. Benson muses on the need to escape from routine into a larger life, and then turns to literature and life, the new poets of his day, Walt Whitman, the quality of charm, sunsets and the lives of country people. The essays first appeared in the Century and the Cornhill.
Gentle, meditative essays from a Cambridge don, for readers who like quiet companionship on the page. Download the free EPUB.
