Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. -John Lubbock Lovers of the great outdoors will be inspired by this miscellany of quotations, poems and beautiful prose celebrating the natural world. From William Blake to George Eliot, this charming collection treads every aspect of the British countryside, from the simple satisfaction of identifying a rare plant to admiring the view from a hilltop.
