Richard Jefferies gathers essays from his last years: little St. Guido running off through the fir-trees and the wheat, wild flowers, golden-brown summer, sunny Brighton, a pine wood, nature on a London roof, a farm labourer newly given the vote, and the modern Thames. Each piece is closely observed and quietly lyrical.
