It is a must-read for fans of classic literature and those interested in the history and culture of rural England.William Dewy--otherwise grandfather William--was now about seventy; yet an ardent vitality still preserved a warm and roughened bloom upon his face, which reminded gardeners of the sunny side of a ripe ribstone-pippin; though a narrow strip of forehead, that was protected from the weather by lying above the line of his hat-brim, seemed to belong to some town man, so gentlemanly was its whiteness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
