An early anthology of essays, mostly written when Buchan was an undergraduate - this was his third book, published when he was only twenty one years old, and in principally about the outdoor life: “ … the scholar is overmuch a man of books and colleges; pale-faced and dull-eyed, lacking the joys and humanities of life […] Yet the way for him is easy; down one street and across another; and thence to the open country, to the green woodland, where the air is free and the great Earth-Mother as gracious as the Muses“.
