Early essays from a master of the English countryside, gathered from his notebooks. Richard Jefferies roams from Marlborough Forest to the village church, from the birds of spring to the pleasures of skating and the choosing of a gun. Fresh, watchful, and full of the open air. The young naturalist finding his voice among the hills.

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.
