Richard Jefferies and His Nature Writings

Richard Jefferies became famous in his lifetime for writing about the almost shocking beauty of the natural world that was around everyone, he became called a "nature mystic" for his almost transcendental writings concerning the British countryside.

This collection of essays written for a London newspaper shows Jefferies at his very best, wishing to describe the intricate wonder that could be found in the parks and woodlands of a great estate, an estate that few in a large city would ever see.

We are republishing this work with a brand new short introductory biography of the author.
