About this title: This is not an autobiography in the ordinary sense of the word, as it contains no history of the events of Richard Jefferies' life. It is not concerned with his birth or marriage, his actions or fortunes but is an outpouring of his soul. Like many others, Jefferies found himself at odds with the world.

"The book could also be called The Exalted & the Ecstatic. So is the nature of page after page, line after delirious line - and so many of the lines are so damn lovely. If you picked the best lines and spaced them in an otherwise 'ordinary' narrative they would spark off the base of the ordinary and give you a more sustained appreciation of the writing. But line after line after line of prose describing what the writer repeatedly admits is indescribable, leads one to the edge of profundity to realize only the elusiveness of sensations. That's why the best of this book is the best of any book; and the worst of it isn't deserving of denigration, but it might be too much of a good thing. Written in 1883, it's ahead of its time, and you could choose a worse book to read a passage from every night to set yourself dreaming."
"This book is so beautifully written. His words just flow off the page and take you to a place of silent contemplation of the life and the world in which we live."
