Description

Through the story of one man, Caleb Bawcombe, a shepherd whose flocks graze the Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset borders, we meet men and women of humble birth - poachers, gypsies, farmers and laborers - striving to survive on the land.

As we read, the cumulative affect of their stories becomes much more than a record of rural life.

It reads like a lost hymn, sung by people whose lives were disregarded and whose histories are now forgotten.

W H Hudson's masterful book, merging fiction, reminiscence, memoir and oral history, was recognized as a classic when it was first published in 1910.

It remains so today. First published by Methuen & Co.
