The Life of the Fields (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781408633557)

This volume contains a wonderful collection of essays written by John Jeffries. John Richard Jefferies (1848 - 1887) was a famous English nature writer, most remembered for his masterful depictions of English rural life. The essays include: "The Pageant of Summer", "The Field Play", "Uptill-a-Thorn", "Rural Dynamite", "Bits of Oak Bark", "The Acorn-Gatherer", "The Legends of a Gateway", "A Roman Brook", "Meadow Thoughts", "Clematis Lane", "Nature Near Brighton", and more. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
