From the first whiff of Irish peat smoke out at sea, Burroughs records a naturalist’s summer in Britain. He contrasts English and American woods and songbirds, goes looking for the nightingale, walks through Carlyle’s Scotland and Wordsworth’s Lake District, and catalogues the wild flowers, always measuring the old country against the Hudson Valley he knew.
