Summer unrolls like a pageant, and Richard Jefferies drinks it in. His essays wander the English fields through oak bark and meadow thought, catching the play of light, bird, and season. Lyrical, sensuous, and steeped in love of the land. A classic of English nature writing that makes an ordinary field feel infinite. Lie down in the grass and let the summer speak.

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.
