Leaving the silent Sunday suburbs behind, Edward Thomas walks out into the English countryside and writes a sequence of prose pieces on lanes, woods, rivers, inns, farm labourers, chapel congregations and the turning seasons. The book closes with five folk songs, among them the Westmorland hunting song and a mowing song.
Early prose by the poet of Adlestrop, already full of the close attention to landscape that marks his verse. Download the free EPUB.
