Description
Through the story of one man, Caleb Bawcombe, a shepherd whose flocks graze the Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset borders, we meet men and women of humble birth, poachers, gypsies, farmers and labourers striving to survive on the land. As we read, the cumulative affect of their stories becomes much more than a record of rural life.Product Details

About the Author
William Henry Hudson (1841-1922) was a writer, naturalist, and ornithologist. He is the author of such books as Far Away and Long Ago, Hampshire Days, Afoot in England, The Purple Land, and A Shepherd's Life, which helped foster the back-to-nature movement of the 1920s and 1930s. Born in Argentina, he settled in England in 1874 where he lived for the rest of his life.
Adam Thorpe, a poet and novelist, is the author of five novels including Ulverton; his most recent poetry collection is Nine Lessons from the Dark.
