Edward Thomas gathered these eighteen essays, three unpublished and the rest rescued from Victorian magazines, with a long introduction of his own. Jefferies writes on choosing a gun, skating, Marlborough Forest, village churches, birds of spring and the small meadows and nooks of the Wiltshire countryside, alternating close observation of nature with sharp notes on farming life.
A welcome addition for lovers of English nature writing, edited by one great country writer in tribute to another. Download the free EPUB.
