Behind the picturesque harvest stood the farm laborer, poor and overlooked. Richard Jefferies turns his sharp eye on the working people of the English fields: their wages, cottages, and hard lot. Compassionate and unsentimental, it is the social conscience of a great rural writer. See the countryside from the side of those who did the work.

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.
