With 4pp publisher's catalogue at end. This collection of forty-three essays and sketches was first published in 1911; this is the work's first appearance in this binding. In 'The Rarities', Lucas describes Maurice Hewlett's beautiful garden near Salisbury where he enjoyed the peace and the trout stream, and saw his fifth kingfisher.
