Marshall) Organization: U. of Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K. Lines: 12 Xref: lsuc net.sf-lovers:6029 net.books:1481 I can heartily recommend Richard Jeffries as an Author to anyone interested in 19th Century life. His style is a bit dated now (e.g BEVIS - The story of a boy, which is a ripping yarn if there ever was one) but much of the factual information is fascinating. I can recommend "The Gamekeeper at Home" and "Wild Life of a SOuthern County" to anyone interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lindsay F.
