Richard Jefferies

About the Author

John Richard Jefferies (1848–1887) was an English nature writer. He deeply experienced the world around him—something he describes in detail in the introspective The Story of My Heart: An Autobiography, which is also a passionate outcry against a mechanistic age. Jefferies wrote a number of other books, including The Amateur Poacher and Round About a Great Estate.
