Product Description
Product Description
H.E. Bates's evocation of a year in the life of an English woodland has been reprinted to make a suitable gift for gardeners and nature lovers. Bates has an eye for every detail describing the sights and sounds of the countryside and the endless variety of plants and animals as each emerges in turn with the changing seasons. The text is complemented by Agnes Miller Parker's wood engravings, from full-page evocations of a fox stalking its prey to tail pieces showing a bunch of catkins or an owl against the night sky. H.E. Bates is the author of "The Darling Buds of May". Agnes Miller Parker is the illustrator of "Down the River" and "The House and the Apricot".

A beautifully produced new edition of a "redistillation of another and more lovely world"
9 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
Woodland held a lifelong fascination for the novelist H E Bates. "There is," he mused in Through the Woods, "some precious quality brought about by the close gathering together of trees into a wood that defies analysis."
In this book, first published in 1940, Bates harks back to his Midlands boyhood to recall a typical woodland through the seasons, its flora and fauna, and also the characters who live and work there. Bates's childhood memories evoke Proustian yearnings in the adult writer, and writing the book is for him "the redistillation of another and more lovely world".
This beautifully produced new edition is complemented by apt illustrations by Agnes Millar Parker.
