In "A Romany In The Country," Evens shares his knowledge of nature lore--how animals communicate, the lengths to which birds go to build their nests and the marvels of ears--as well as the friends he meets in the lanes and fields. There is Ned, the old postman, a philosopher and poet; Alan and Joe, large-hearted generous farmers; and Jerry and John, the poacher and gamekeeper who hold each other in mutual respect.
