From a single English parish, Gilbert White watched the whole living world with unmatched patience. His letters record the rainbow, the harvest scene, the still warm weather, and every bird and beast of Selborne. Gentle, exact, and immortal. The founding classic of English nature writing, cherished for centuries. Settle into a country village and learn to see the way the great watcher saw.
