Country rambles in England
John Leonard Knapp and Susan Fenimore Cooper
A country parson kept a naturalist's journal through the year 1825, and it still reads like a walk beside him. Knapp notes the wych elm and the carpenter bee, the potato's spread, and the quiet life of English hedgerow and farm. Month by month, ordinary countryside turns fascinating. Ramble the old fields with a watchful companion.
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.
