Spring, summer, fall, and winter turn through the Dorset countryside in its own broad dialect.

Hear the seasons sung in the true voice of the Dorset fields.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
