About this audiobook
Dick Dewy and Fancy Day, the lovers; the simpleton Leaf; Penney the shoemaker; and the rest of the Mellstock rustics inhabit this charming sunlit novel, the first in the great Wessex canon. The book is divided into the four seasons of the year and, like a happily-remembered childhood, a tranquil timelessness and Arcadian appropriateness is established in each.
Author
Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 in Dorchester, Dorset. He enrolled as a student in King’s College, London, but never felt at ease there, seeing himself as socially inferior. This preoccupation with society, particularly the declining rural society, featured heavily in Hardy’s novels, with many of his stories set in the fictional county of Wessex. Since his death in 1928, Hardy has been recognised as a significant poet, influencing The Movement poets in the 1950s and 1960s.
