Synopsis
Wild Life in a Southern County traces the course of a spring which rises on an Iron Age hillfort and gradually broadens into a brook, flows through a nearby village and hamlet, skirts a solitary farmhouse and its orchard, before draining into water meadows and a lake where the wildfowl nest. Immersed in the detail of this ancient landscape, its people and the habitats of its wildlife, what emerges from Jefferies' dazzling prose is his sense of perpetual wonder and the deep affection he felt for his homeland, from the clatter of a milkmaid's boots to a pike lying in ambush.

About the Author
Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) gained his first writing experience composing descriptive sketches for the North Wilts Advertiser. He published his first book The Goddards of North Wiltshire in 1863 and went on to publish numerous novels and factual works as well as continuing to contribute to papers such as the Pall Mall Gazette. His most popular books were those about rural life. Despite a serious illness in 1881 and a debilitating wasting disease which forced him to dictate his work to his wife, Jeffries continued to write until his death in 1887.
