A poet's journey through the English countryside.
Wandering over the landscape of southern England, Edward Thomas observes the wildlife, flowers and trees around him. His walks take him through every season, and cover all the counties from Hampshire to Cornwall, and from Surrey to Sussex. As he travels, his mind also wanders: he recollects a schoolboy football match; considers the mechanics of ale-making; or simply reflects on nature's beauty.
Bringing the countryside alive through vivid description, Thomas's account of his journey offers fascinating glimpses of the poet's thoughts, and a tourist's view of one of England's most beautiful regions.
With wood engravings by Eric Fitch Daglish.
