The Story of my Heart

Not an autobiography in the ordinary sense of the word, as it contains no history of the events of Richard Jefferies' life . . . but is an outpouring of Jefferies' innermost soul.Like many others, he found himself at odds with the world. He saw the beauty of the land, the grandeur of the sea, the interest of life above all of human life but he was not satisfied. He longed for more beauty, a fuller grandeur, a deeper interest.' From the Preface by C.J. Longman
