The Earl's Cedars, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from The Earl's Cedars, Vol. 1 of 2

Like the beach, our wild hills are tossed up and down over the face of the country, in every kind of fanciful shape. Above the vil lage, the downs rise bare and brown, without a sign of vegetation except the short turf, which is soon parched by the sun. In spring and early summer the hills are green but in general it is a bleak and gloomy district, with the storm-swept bars and mountains of sand and shingle on one side, and, on every other, the bold curves and abrupt summits of the wild western downs.
