Under The Greenwood Tree

by Thomas Hardy

Genres: Literary Fiction

Synopsis

Dick Dewy and Fancy Day, the lovers; the simpleton Leaf; Penney the shoemaker; and the rest of the Mellstock rustics inhabit this charming sunlit novel, the first in the great Wessex canon. The book is divided into the four seasons of the year and, like a happily-remembered childhood, a tranquil timelessness and Arcadian appropriateness is established in each.
