Kilvert's Diary (Vintage Classics)

Few have written more beautifully about the British countryside than Francis Kilvert. A country clergyman born in 1840, Kilvert spent much of his time visiting parishioners, walking the lanes and fields of Herefordshire and writing in his diary. Full of passionate delight in the natural world and the glory of the changing seasons, his diaries are as generous, spontaneous and vivacious as Kilvert himself. He is an irresistible companion.

This new edition of William Plomer’s original selection contains new archival material as well as a fascinating introduction illuminating Kilvert’s world and the history of the diaries.

‘One of the best books in English’ Sunday Times

'Kilvert has touched and delighted (and mildly shocked) readers of his diaries ever since they were first published. New readers are in for a treat' Alan Bennett

Putini au scris mai frumos despre mediul rural britanic decat Francis Kilvert. Cler de tara nascut in 1840, Kilvert isi petrecea o mare parte din timp vizitand enoriasi, mergand pe benzile si campurile din Herefordshire si scriind in jurnalul sau.
