Jefferies, Richard. Nature near London. London: John Clare Books, 1980, vi, 242pp., very good price-clipped dust-jacket, very good small brown hardcover. Reproduced from the original edition of 1893 - Cyril Wright, the Secretary of the Richard Jefferies Society, writes on the reasons for the upsurge of interest in this author: I think (hat the key is to be found in the interests and concerns of those who seek and read his books with pleasure and advantage. They are mostly nature-lovers, conservationists, and students of literature and of Victorian rural life. Jefferies was recognised in his day as an authority on country matters, and also as one who opened the eyes of prosaic town-dwellers to the beauties and wonders of nature. What was then comment and information on the contemporary rural scene can now be studied and enjoyed as an authentic picture of that period. Changes were even then taking place in farming methods and in the outward development of cities, and these were the forerunners of the internal combustion engine; the motorway; improved standards of living for rural workers; ribbon building and the urban sprawl. The natural scene has altered too. In the 1880's there seemed no conceivable threat to the richness and variety of our flora and fauna. Common sights and sounds then are now precious in their rarity; some species have vanished; many others gravely endangered. The appeal of Richard Jefferies, a hundred years on, is for the easy and delightful way with which he recaptures for us an England that is so different from ours, but in which we can perceive nostalgic resemblances, and which alerts us to our role as protectors of the good things that have survived. 9780906549155 ISBN 0906549159.

Soft cover. Condizione: Good+. Paperback, 192 pages, NOT ex-library. A nice copy with gently age-toned pages, unmarked text, firm binding. Free of inscriptions and stamps, no foxing, no age-spotting. Age-tanned outer page edges. Cover shows shelfwear and moderate rubbing to edges. Spine is sunned, slightly leaned, with mild creasing. -- This is the moving, down-to earth story of one of the 110,000 Other Ranks of the British Army who were prisoners-of-war of the Germans during the 1939-45 war. The day-to-day life on working-parties and in holding camps is described with frank realism by a well-known journalist and author who was there. Donald Edgar was a sergeant in a Territorial Army infantry battalion, attached to the 51st. Highland Division which was forced to surrender at St. Valery in Normandy on 12 June, 1940. He always wanted to write a book about his five years as a P.O.W. because although there were bad times of hunger and privation he discovered himself as he worked and lived with the 'Other Ranks' of the British people and learned to admire their courage, endurance and sense of humour and to share their comradeship. Edgar was on working-parties in Poland, clearing building sites and digging a canal. In Silesia he worked in the forests and did some farm-work. In the mountains of Czechoslovakia he spent some months in a paper factory. With a gift for languages he talked to Poles, Czechs, French, to German civilians and to the German guards. He studied the German press and was able to glean much by reading 'between the lines'. He saw the Germans exulting in their days of victory when Europe was at their feet; watched the build-up of the Armies which were to invade Russia; had first-hand experience of the Communist and Roman Catholic resistance to Hitler; witnessed the Russian prisoners dying in droves from starvation; and when Stalingrad fell observed the shadows falling on the German people as they sensed the victory of Slav over Teuton. The last two years as a P.O.W. Edgar spent in an N.C.O.'s camp where he was not required to work. There were Australians, New Zealanders and Canadians to get to know. He studied Russian assiduously with the help of Russian Jews from Palestine who had been captured in Greece fighting in British uniform. He describes vividly the varied life of the camp - sport, gambling, theatre, studying, escaping, and the sex problems. Finally, in the spring of 1945 the camp was put on the march to the Salzburg Redoubt where Hitler planned to make his last stand with the SS divisions. But across the Danube the American army liberated the prisoners. Edgar says that the Germans guarding the British were, with some exceptions, reasonable men. But he believes that without the Red Cross parcels of food, clothing, cigarettes, books, sports equipment and endless other comforts from England, Canada, and elsewhere many POWs would not have survived and, if they had, only with their health permanently damaged. His gratitude - and he is sure that of all POWs - to those who gave and to those who worked to make that help possible, is undying. -- Contents: 1 Deutschland Über Alles; 2 The Polish Miracle; 3 Gegen Engel-land; 4 Spinning the Web; 5 Village Life; 6 The Russians Died; 7 In the Bohemian Mountains; 8 Problems of Providence; 9 The Student Years; 10 The March Across the Danube.
