Synopsis
This text was originally written in 1897 by P. G. Hamerton and comprises an unpublished portion of his previous work, Round My House (1876), discovered by his wife posthumously and put to print. Hamerton’s love of mountains drew him repeatedly to the summit of the highest hill in the neighbourhood of his dwelling, Mont Beuvray, and he invested so much time describing these visits that he believed these writings warranted their own volume. He consequently set this text aside to be published separately at a later date, but unfortunately this was to be an endeavour that he never found leisure to complete. A wonderful description of a mountainous idyll, this rare text will appeal to any fan of nature writing and constitutes a must-read for fans of Hamerton’s work. Philip Gilbert Hamerton was an English artist, critic, and author, most renowned for his works Etching and Etchers (1866) and Camp in the Highlands (1863). This rare book is republished here with an original biography of its author.
