Pinned
Richard Jefferies (1848-1887) is the purest and most sensitive nature writer produced by a country that has prided itself on the strength of its nature tradition. The Richard Jefferies Award is given annually to nature writers reflecting the sense of place so strong in Jefferies’ countryside books.

To add to my delight, a courier dropped this off - Richard Jefferies’ “After London” - a neat little Everyman edition from the 1940s of what is arguable one of the earliest post-apocalyptic novels (1885) in which towns and cities are destroyed, and England returns to the wilds of nature. #BookSky
