De Hoara's fen Hastings

Lyrical passages evoke a wide, solitary heath through changing light and seasons, celebrating birds, flowers, pools, and windswept trees. Interwoven prose sketches recall a child’s encounters with grandparents, domestic scenes, and evening storytelling that revives local legends, spirits, and village characters. The collection blends pastoral meditation and anecdotal folk narrative, moving between vivid natural observation and intimate memory. Recurring themes of solitude, loss, communal ritual, and the ways landscape and tradition shape personal identity tie the pieces together.
