A Traveller In Little Things is a collection of essays by W. H. Hudson, a British author and naturalist. The book is a reflection of Hudson's observations and experiences with the natural world, particularly the small and often overlooked details in nature. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the behavior of ants to the habits of birds, and from the beauty of wildflowers to the mysteries of the night sky. Hudson's writing is characterized by his keen eye for detail and his deep appreciation for the natural world. His prose is lyrical and evocative, and his insights into the workings of nature are both profound and illuminating. A Traveller In Little Things is a classic work of nature writing that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the natural world and a love of beautiful prose.Some vague speculations passed through my mind as to how old the village might be. I had heard some person remark that it had formerly been much more populous, that many of its people had from time to time drifted away to the towns; their old empty cottages pulled down and no new ones built. The road was deep and the cottages on either side stood six to eight or nine feet above it. Where a cottage stood close to the edge of the road and faced it, the door was reached by a flight of stone or brick steps; at such cottages the landing above the steps was like a balcony, where one could stand and look down upon a passing cart, or the daily long straggling procession of children going to or returning from the village school.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
