This lovely work is a celebration of Spring: its opening chapter on rambling in woodlands is followed by a month-by-month journey through the English forest-scape. The author was an early advocate of the Open Space Movement that sought to enlarge green spaces — in his case, in and around London — and protecting forest and wild lands — his special cause was Epping Forest.
A contemporary review describes the book as “... written in that clear and attractive style so well known to Mr. Heath’s readers, and which has done so much to make his work valued by lovers of Nature.”
