The Book of the Green Man

This book encompasses a year, October to October: on foot for a month in the Lake Country, Wordsworth in one hand and a staff in the other; a walk in spring from the mouth of the Wye, up its winding valley, to its source in Wales high on the flanks of Plynlimmon, and various excursions to gardens, follies, and grottoes, to Gilbert White's Selborne, and to the carved foilage and green men of the Chapter House at Southwell Minster.
