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
laborers - striving to survive on the land. As we read, the
cumulative affect of their stories becomes much more than a record
of rural life. It reads like a lost hymn, sung by people whose
lives were disregarded and whose histories are now forgotten. W H
Hudson's masterful book, merging fiction, reminiscence, memoir and
oral history, was recognized as a classic when it was first
published in 1910. It remains so today. First published by Methuen
& Co.
