Taking his title from a poem by Hilaire Belloc, Thomas wanders the chalk downs, woods and villages of southern England from the end of winter through spring and summer into autumn. Landscape, weather and birdsong mix with chance encounters, memories, reflections on history and the parish, and portraits of people met along the road.
Prose by one of the finest English nature writers, published in 1909 before he turned to the poetry that made his name. Download the free EPUB.
