Kilvert's Diary, 1870-1879 : selections from the diary of the Rev. Francis Kilvert / Francis Kilvert ; chosen, edited and prefaced by William Plomer with a new introduction by Mark Bostridge.
Francis Kilvert was a country clergyman who lived from 1840 to 1879, and these are his diaries: gossipy, sweet-natured, generous, curious, and full of an abiding wonder and delight in the natural world and the beauties of the changing seasons. A worthy heir to Pepys and Dorothy Wordsworth, Kilvert is an irresistible companion.
