A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A way from all the noise and stir Of cities and of towns, A little village lay concealed, A mongst the Sussex Downs. I ts history was never writ In any learned book; Few people even knew the name Of pleasant Summerbrook. The houses stood about the fields, Or near a winding road. That skirted now a chalky hill, And now a beechen wood. It passed the school-house and the mill, Down to a sunny glen, Where stood the clustered cottages Of many labouring men. And then with many a pleasant turn, Kept on its winding way, And snug farm-house or mossy cot. On either side there lay.
