This re-issue of BB's classic memoir will be enjoyed by all who appreciate fine country writing, and who believe passionately in the resilience of Mother Nature, despite the follies of mankind.Denys Watkins-Pitchford (better known as BB) wrote these wonderful essays on the English countryside in the 1930s - a time of peace and renewal between two world wars. The book was finally published in 1941 when, as BB puts it, England was 'in the darkest hour of our history.'BB captures here in words and sensitive wood engravings the wonders of English wildlife and countryside.Includes essays on:ravens and rookeriesthe stone curlewthe purple emperor butterflya woodcutter's housean encounter with a wildfowler one frosty dawna night fishing on the Solwaythe strange behaviour of song thrushesthe rescue of a black labradora favourite copsethe accidental death of a groomvillage charactershedgerows - and many more topics Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
