Publisher's Synopsis
The Pageant of Summer, written by Richard Jefferies and first published in 1901, is a beautifully descriptive account of the English countryside during the summer months. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each one focusing on a different aspect of summer, from the arrival of the swallows to the ripening of the corn.Jefferies was a naturalist and a keen observer of the natural world, and his writing is filled with vivid descriptions of the flora and fauna he encountered during his walks through the countryside. He writes about the wildflowers that carpet the meadows, the birds that sing in the hedgerows, and the insects that buzz around the fields.But The Pageant of Summer is not just a book about nature; it is also a meditation on the passing of time and the beauty of the world around us. Jefferies writes about the changing seasons, the cycles of life and death, and the way in which the natural world is constantly renewing itself.The book is a celebration of the English countryside and its inhabitants, both human and animal.
