John Richard Jefferies was an English nature writer, noted for his depiction of English rural life in essays, books of natural history, and novels. His childhood on a small Wiltshire farm had a great influence on him and provides the background to all his major works of fiction.

Richard Jeffries was deeply imbued with understanding and love of nature and in his books complete harmony with the spirit of the English countryside is revealed. Yet the influence which London had on his work and thought is often overlooked. These essays on the Great City and its own environs show his heartfelt and abiding interest in the humanity of its life.
Illustrations specially drawn by E E Briscoe.
