This Series opens with a new work by Mr. EDWARD THOMAS, that curious and enthusiastic explorer of the English Countryside, whose prose style gives him a claim to be regarded as the successor, as he is the biographer, of Richard Jefferies. The Series includes a new edition of Mr. THOMAS’S other work, “The Heart of England,” and Mr. HILAIRE BELLOC’S “The Historic Thames.” These two volumes were originally issued in limited editions at one Guinea net per volume.
=THE SOUTH COUNTRY.= By EDWARD THOMAS. Small crown 8vo. =3s. 6d.= net.
Mr. Thomas in this new book gives his impressions of a year’s wanderings afoot as the seasons change through Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Cornwall. It is a prose-poem of the most beautiful counties in England.
