The son of a social climbing father, this book describes two years in the life of Peter Hewett, when he was a small boy in the rural Hampshire of the 1920s. Against a backdrop of fluctuating family fortunes, he recalls a lost way of life and his discovery of natural history. This was a time when boys collected birds' eggs, butterflies and wild flowers with impunity and although such practices are no longer possible nor desirable it was this early obsession with collecting and classifying that led the author to cherish the countryside and to become one of its protectors. Owslebury Bottom is a hamlet in the civil parish of Owslebury in the City of Winchester district of Hampshire, England. Its nearest town is Winchester, which lies approximately 4.2 miles (7 km) north-west from the village. Ref JJJ 1. Rosie Newman (illustrator).…

Softcover. Zustand: Very good. Near fine. First thus. A wonderful association copy, inscribed to his friend and soon-to-be mother-in-law on the title page: "Dear Leo, Affectionately, after this fallow season! John, July 18, 1993." After John Fowles's first wife passed away, he remarried in 1998 to Sarah Smith, who was much younger, and her mother was Leo Smith, a friend of Fowles and his first wife. Fowles lived in Lyme Regis, Dorset (where for nearly a decade he served as curator of the museum). He is best known for his classicThe French Lieutenant's Woman, but The Tree, a long essay in book form, is truly a classic of environmental writing, a meditation on nature (especially trees, of course) and creativity alongside his relationship with his father and the British landscape. Originally published in 1979, it's often compared to Lewis Hyde's The Gift as an inspirational treatise on the creative spirit, andit's definitely a Rural Hours house favorite. Barry Lopez wrote a new introduction for the US Vintage edition, and W.S. Merwin was another big champion of the book. A very good or better copy in white wraps, a faint speckling of foxing on the top edge of the text block. Very slight tilt to spine, and one notation on the half-title page. In a near fine jacket with just slight creasing at top edge. A delightful find.…
