263 pages~5 hr 14 min read14 chapters$4.99
A clergyman-naturalist wades into the chalk streams and never wants to leave. Kingsley's essays roam from trout water and the wide English fens to a beloved winter garden and the wild coast of North Devon and Exmoor. Warm, muscular nature writing from a Victorian favorite. Come outdoors with a writer who found poetry in every hedgerow and river bend.
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.
