Copsford

Originally published in 1948, the story of an idyllic sojourn in a derelict cottage, alone, in the English countryside, by a herb-gathering entomologist. Written just before the British countryside was largely devastated by factory farming and the reckless use of herbicides and pesticides. Magical. The original book had photographs by the author, but this has bw drawings for chapter headings only. Green cloth boards.
