Nature In Downland

By William Henry Hudson

Book Overview

Nature In Downland is a book written by W. H. Hudson that provides a detailed and vivid description of the natural beauty of the downlands in southern England. The book is a fascinating study of the flora and fauna of the region, as well as an exploration of the history and culture of the people who have lived there for centuries.Hudson's writing is lyrical and poetic, and he captures the essence of the downlands with vivid descriptions of the rolling hills, the vast expanses of grassland, and the rich diversity of wildlife that inhabits the area. He also delves into the history of the region, exploring the ancient earthworks and burial mounds that dot the landscape, and the traditions and folklore of the people who have made their home there.Nature In Downland is a celebration of the natural world and a reminder of the importance of preserving our environment for future generations. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the beauty and diversity of the English countryside, and a testament to the power of nature to inspire and uplift the human spirit.The power of the sun and its joy is not felt so early on the downs as on the lower country, and last season it was not until the middle of June that I experienced the blissful sensation and feeling in its fullness. Then a day came that was a revelation; I all at once had a deeper sense and more intimate knowledge of what summer really is to all the children of life; for it chanced that on that effulgent day even the human animal, usually regarded as outside of nature, was there to participate in the heavenly bounty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

delightful

It is a book about author`s impressions of that beautiful part of England, called the yorkshire downs. It is a book about nature. About landscape. about the way a place, or a lansdcape can grow inside you, in a way to become an important part of your life. If you like trekking, natural places, and to read about birds, and their migration, wild animals, and old english towns, this book is a must. Nobody has written about nature the way Hudson did it. Rabrindanath Tagore was fond of his books.
