From the ancient entrenchment on the downs, Jefferies works his way down through the hillside hedges, the village and its washpool, cottages and farmhouse, orchard, brook and woods of north Wiltshire. Larks, hares, starlings, martins, rabbits and poachers are observed alongside cottage astrology, ghost lore and village crafts.
One of the classics of English nature writing, by its finest Victorian observer. Download the free EPUB.
