About This Item

Green paper over cloth with green overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. Green endpapers. 306 pp 8vo. This book is a reprint of the author's diary of England published in 1936 by Putnam. This book documents White's experiences and adventures between March 1934 and March 1935, when, while "residing in the countryside of Britain and Scotland, he began keeping a diary to record the unique delights and constant surprises which a city dweller happens upon when he leaves the world behind". It was compared at the time to works such as Izaak Walton's Compleat Angler. The poetry of fire, the mystery of trees, the marvels of trout fishing, the joy of the hunt, and the delicious comfort of a blazing fire in a snug public house; the always miraculous change of the seasons, the thrill of learning to shoot, to fish, to fly a plane, to win at darts, and to watch a mare foal- are all recounted wit a passionate enthusiasm in a wisely witty manner worthy of Merlin himself. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
