The power of the sun and its joy is not felt so early on the downs as on the lower country, and last season it was not until the middle of June that I experienced the blissful sensation and feeling in its fullness. Then a day came that was a revelation; I all at once had a deeper sense and more intimate knowledge of what summer really is to all the children of life; for it chanced that on that effulgent day even the human animal, usually regarded as outside of nature, was there to participate in the heavenly bounty.

This review is from: Nature in Downland (Paperback)
It is a book about author`s impressions of that beautiful part of England, called the yorkshire downs. It is a book about nature. About landscape. about the way a place, or a lansdcape can grow inside you, in a way to become an important part of your life.If you like trekking, natural places, and to read about birds, and their migration, wild animals, and old english towns, this book is a must. Nobody has written about nature the way Hudson did it. Rabrindanath Tagore was fond of his books.
