What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Leather Binding

Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) was an English nature writer, notable for his depiction of English rural life in essays, natural history books, and novels. His work was greatly influenced by his childhood, which was spent on a small Wiltshire farm.
In this work, Jefferies provides a guide to the wildlife of Wiltshire, in its villages, farmhouses, orchards, woodlands, fields, and lakes, and also on the Wiltshire Downs. He gives particular mention to bird life, with passages devoted to starlings, rooks and rookeries, migration, and wildfowl.
