A Country Calendar


Read by Steve C

‘A Country Calendar’ was written in 1928 by the Reverend Tickner Edwardes, who was the vicar of Burpham, a small village tucked away in the South Downs of West Sussex in England. The book presents a reflective look at the changing face of nature, the environment and the landscape over twelve chapters as the year progresses from January through to December.
Although well known around the South Downs in West Sussex as 'The Bee-man of Burpham', Tickner Edwardes also had a great affinity for all aspects of nature and the countryside and his words both skillfully and eloquently create an atmosphere that will draw the listener (and reader) into this rural area of the Downs. - Summary by Steve C (10 hr 39 min)
