Being His Commonplace Book for 1898. With 2 Maps and 36 Illustrations by G. Leon Little. London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1899. 32 pp ads dated Sep 1898. Original dark blue cloth decorated in gilt. First Edition, which consisted of 3000 copies. This was Haggard's second volume of non-fiction (his first was his first book, CETYWAYO AND HIS WHITE NEIGHBOURS, in 1882). The volume is a month-by-month chronicle of the "struggles of those who were engaged in agriculture during that trying time" (per his later autobiography). As many veteran Haggard collectors know, it is these non-fiction Haggard titles that are among the most elusive, since the number of copies issued was a small fraction of the size of his fiction printings. A bright, near-fine copy (small area of front cover rubbed). Scott 32; Whatmore NF2. N° de ref. del artículo 2377

Soft cover. Condición: Good. London: The Cresset Library, 1987. Soft Cover. 489 p. Good: some creases and wear to the covers, with small chipping to top and base of spine but clean and sound inside. Introduction by Ronald Blythe. Fascinating diary of the year 1898 on H. Rider Haggard's farm. It covers what he is doing agriculturally, but also the people around him, their lives and social conditions, in intensely descriptive language. It's an intriguing contrast between the dashing adventures of his books and the man absorbed in the details of country life. Nº de ref. del artículo: 000530

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Embark on a captivating journey into the heart of rural England during the late 19th century. This book offers a firsthand account of a year in the life of a landowner and farmer grappling with the challenges and rewards of managing a modest agricultural operation amidst a period of significant agricultural crisis. The author's insightful observations delve into the historical tapestry of the land, tracing its ownership and cultivation through generations, from Saxon Thanes to the present day. The reader is transported to a bygone era, encountering the remnants of a medieval priory, deciphering the etymology of village names, and uncovering the forgotten stories of those who once walked the same fields. This book goes beyond mere agricultural practices, exploring broader themes of social change, economic hardship, and the complex relationship between the countryside and the burgeoning industrial cities. The author's contemplations on the decline of rural communities, the exodus of laborers to urban centers, and the enduring significance of agriculture as a way of life offer profound insights into a pivotal moment in English history. Ultimately, this work serves as a poignant reflection on the timeless connection between humanity and the land, reminding us of the enduring values and profound lessons that can be gleaned from a life lived in close harmony with nature.
