Neighbourhood – A Year’s Life in and About an English Village (version 2)
Tickner Edwardes
Leído por Peter Yearsley
Tickner Edwardes (properly Edward Tickner Edwardes) served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during WWI and later became the vicar of the West Sussex village of Burpham. Edwardes has the same naturalist's fascination with the world around him as Gilbert White had, a century before.
He wrote on beekeeping, wrote what is probably the earliest book describing hitchhiking, and wrote a number of books (fiction and non-fiction) about life on the Sussex Downs. "Neighbourhood" is a semi-fictionalised essay on life in his village, and on its people, month by month through the year. (8 hr 8 min)

Reseñas
Wonderful book.
Logan Nicholson
My wife and I would get our tea or hot chocolate and listen to this after the kids were in bed, to unwind from the day. The narrator did a fantastic job and the beautiful word pictures of people and scenery were relaxing and joyful. I recommend it for those who need a slowdown and a reminder of what joy in life really is.
