This is the essential photographic celebration of the English countryside. Michael Busselle's superb photographs attest to the spectacular variety and charm of the scenery found in this small island. His extensive travels have taken him to the marshlands of East Anglia, the heathlands of Dorset, the Forest of Dean, and the moors of Yorkshire.
Arranged seasonally, this volume records the freshness and changeability of spring, with lambs bounding in the Cumbrian fells, the sultry heat of a summer's afternoon high up on the Sussex Downs, autumn mists embroidering their way through silver birches in a forest in the Kent Weald, and the blue cold of Tintern Abbey on a winter morning.
Ronald Blythe, the distinguished author and observer of country life, reflects the seasons in four essays that convey his love and concern for the landscape.
