Publisher's Synopsis
One of H. E. Bates' wonderful evocations of country life, this is a celebration of joy in earth, air and sun, of delight in the loveliness of seasonal changes, as experienced by the mind, the heart and the senses. It abounds in deep and pungent thought on country ways, an abiding love of the French countryside, and in sensuous delight in all that places country life among the richest of experiences.
