A Canny Countryside is a book written by John Horne and published in 1896. The book is a collection of essays and observations about the English countryside, its people, and their way of life. Horne, a Scottish journalist, spent many years traveling through the rural regions of England and documenting his experiences. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of country life. Horne writes about the beauty of the landscape, the customs and traditions of the people, and the challenges they face in their daily lives. He also discusses the impact of modernization and industrialization on the countryside, and the ways in which rural communities are adapting to changing times. Throughout the book, Horne's writing is characterized by a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures of rural life. He paints vivid pictures of the landscapes he encounters, and his descriptions of the people he meets are both sympathetic and insightful. A Canny Countryside is a valuable historical document that provides a fascinating glimpse into life in rural England at the turn of the 20th century. It is also a beautifully written work that will appeal to anyone with an interest in nature, culture, and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
