It went originally under the title 'A Moon on its Back', but changing the title hasn't affected it one bit.  It's still one of the most outstanding pieces of literature I've ever read.  A wonderful collection of non-fiction short stories taking place throughout a West Country year, bringing you marvelous eccentrics, old pubs, gorgeous descriptions of the countryside, etc., as it leads you through the seasons. You'll cry along with the author over the loss of his wonderful dog, Sikes, and fall in love with everyone and everything else in it. Each story is a stand-alone masterpiece. I absolutely love this collection, and reread it frequently. It restores my faith in the art of fine writing. It's lyrical, descriptive, haunting at times, always beautiful.
