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.
