A quiet invitation to walk through wild England, where the hedgerow and the shoreline whisper in a language of their own. A journey that begins with curiosity and ends with reverence for the living world around us. Richard Jefferies's After London; Or, Wild England (Part-II) gathers nature writing collection and travelogue style essays into a rural landscape prose honoured by time. In lucid, observant prose, the book offers rural life observations and countryside nature musings that feel as immediate as a morning stroll. It speaks to for nature enthusiasts and for outdoor readers alike, inviting you to notice the textures of soil, weather, and creature life as a seasoned companion would. Historically, this late Victorian-era work sits within nineteenth century England's turn toward natural history and grounded, humane writing. It is a refined specimen of hardy era writing, with influences that ripple through modern nature-writing sensibilities-clear, evocative, human. This edition is more than a reprint; it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, restored for today's and future generations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it preserves the cadence of Jefferies' voice while ensuring accessibility for readers new and returning alike. A precise, immersive bridge between the wilds of the past and the enduring appeal of England's countryside.
