Under The Greenwood Tree Or The Mellstock Quire is a novel written by Thomas Hardy. The story is set in the fictional village of Mellstock in rural England during the mid-19th century. The main characters are members of the Mellstock church choir, who are faced with the prospect of losing their jobs when the church decides to replace their traditional music with a new organ.The novel explores themes of tradition, change, and the role of music in society. It also delves into the romantic relationships between the choir members and their respective partners, as well as the challenges they face in pursuing their love interests.Overall, Under The Greenwood Tree Or The Mellstock Quire is a charming and heartwarming tale that captures the essence of rural life in 19th century England. It is a testament to the enduring power of music and the importance of community in the face of change.William Dewy--otherwise grandfather William--was now about seventy; yet an ardent vitality still preserved a warm and roughened bloom upon his face, which reminded gardeners of the sunny side of a ripe ribstone-pippin; though a narrow strip of forehead, that was protected from the weather by lying above the line of his hat-brim, seemed to belong to some town man, so gentlemanly was its whiteness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
