On the great chalk downs of Wiltshire, W. H. Hudson found England's oldest way of life still breathing. Through the memories of an aged shepherd named Caleb Bawcombe, he tells of flocks and faithful dogs, hiring fairs and hard winters, poachers, gypsies, and villages folded into green hills. It is portrait, elegy, and love letter at once, wide as the downland sky. Many call it Hudson's finest book about England. Climb the sheep track and listen to a vanished world speak.
