Description The story of Greene Ferne Farm centers around Margaret Estecourt and her two suitors: Geoffrey and Valentine. The trio, as well as their friends, travel the countryside, have adventures on the farm, and stir up rumors in the surrounding towns.

Greene Ferne Farm was the first novel by Richard Jefferies to feature what was to become his trademark literary style: a fusion of his agricultural essays, for...

Richard Jefferies’ third book. He had not yet settled into the nature-focused style that would come to define his later works, and it was only incrementally more successful than his previous two novels. However, contemporary critics noted his improved plotting and the more believable motives of his characters.

The novel documents the rise of a great city, Stirmingham, the enormous wealth of its founder, and a plot to acquire the founder’s estate by any means necessary. Caught up in the middle are Aymer and Violet, two young lovers engaged to be..." data-title="Книга World’s End">
