very talented brush paints a glorious picture of life in all its many colors, through the seasons in the country he loves and will never leave.Athough his verbal sketches engulf me in the scenes and lives of its inhabitants I could not but wish that I would be there in reality.To experience the forces and beauty of nature such as Peter Maughan describes as he leads us along  his journey through the seasons is like watching a maestro wave his baton and waiting for the magical notes to permeate the senses on the first downstroke.His words seem to cascade like a waterful in shimmering sunstruck magnificence. Even the codgy weather-worn men, bundled snugly in warm winter togs with only their red noses showing,are at the same time humorous and serious; drawing us into their circle of warmth.And I anticipate along with them the first sign of the next glorious season, knowing that Winter is the price to be paid for a bloom-filled Spring,a sun-drenched Summer,and the ever-glorious myriad umber colored Fall.Each story is connected to the other and yet uniquely seperate.This book can be read and enjoyed by everyone...man, woman,and child. And as I have said before of his lyrical prose,read it to those who cannot as yet read and I will add now to read it to the elderly for its music will give solace and comfort.Peter Maughan, a man for all seasons, a man whose works will endear him to the ages.All his writings are classics and have earned a place in world-wide libraries. They will never be old or outdated...just enjoyed and very loved..every word...every nuance.Peter Maughan is a gift you give yourself and a gift for those you love.
