About this book

Richard Jefferies, the English nature writer, traces the life of his mind and feelings in this autobiography of twelve chapters, first brought out in 1883. The first chapter dates the start of his story to seventeen years before he wrote, with walks up a hill where he lay on the turf and addressed the earth, the sun, the air and the distant sea in thought. He uses the word psyche for the soul and writes of a need for deep inspiration to clear away the dust of everyday habit.
