Wood Leighton: Or, a Year in the Country — Mary Howitt

First published in 1836, Wood Leighton is as much an evocative and vivid novel by a poet of the first rank, as it is a piece of literary history. Mary Howitt, together with her husband, William, wrote over 100 novels, and translated Hans Christian Anderson into English for the first time. In Wood Leighton she has crafted a languid tale from an altogether different age. One of her best-loved novels, this beautifully produced volume is one to treasure.
