About this listen

 Richard Jefferies (1848 – 1887) grew up on a farm in Coate, Wiltshire, where his love for the rural landscape blossomed. After joining the ‘Wiltshire and Gloucestershire Standard’ in 1868, he began writing insightful articles and pamphlets on agricultural issues and local history. Renowned for his vivid portrayals of English rural life, Jefferies masterfully captures the essence of a gamekeeper’s existence in southern England during the latter half of the nineteenth century. This timeless classic of English nature writing offers a captivating glimpse into a world where nature and humanity intersect. (Summary by AJM)
