Description
Afoot in England is a classic English birding/birdwatching volume by W.H. Hudson. Mr. Hudson is a nature lover, but above all a bird lover, and it was his quest for a more intimate acquaintance with the bird life of the English Countryside that led him "afoot" on many of these birding pilgrimages through un-frequented England, of which he gives us such attractive glimpses. Never before published in America, and long out of print in England.
Guide-books are so many that it seems probable we have more than any other country--possibly more than all the rest of the universe together. Every county has a little library of its own--guides to its towns, churches, abbeys, castles, rivers, mountains; finally, to the county as a whole. They are of all prices and all sizes, from the diminutive paper-covered booklet, worth a penny, to the stout cloth-bound octavo volume which costs eight or ten or twelve shillings, or to the gigantic folio county history, the huge repository from which the guide-book maker gets his materials. For these great works are also guide-books, containing everything we want to learn, only made on so huge a scale as to be suited to the coat pockets of Brobdingnagians rather than of little ordinary men
