Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gabriel: A Story of Wichnor Wood
Nobody, taking a bird's eye glance at this sylvan scene, would have found anything to disturb its harmony. Rooks were abroad by thousands, cawing in the clear air; the song of the robin sounded through the early still ness, and here and there was heard khe crow of a cock, coming upwards from secluded home steads. Hares and rabbits hopped about by hundreds, in undisturbed possession of the dewy grass, but as yet. Very few human beings were astir.
