""Field and Hedgerow: Being the Last Essays of Richard Jefferies"" is a collection of essays written by the English nature writer Richard Jefferies. The book was published posthumously in 1889, a year after Jefferies died at the age of 38. The essays in this book are a celebration of the English countryside, its wildlife, and the simple joys of rural life. Jefferies writes about the changing seasons, the beauty of the landscape, and the habits of birds and animals. He also reflects on the history and culture of rural England, and the role of the countryside in shaping the national character. The book is a poignant reminder of the beauty and fragility of nature, and a tribute to the author's love of the land.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
