The letters provide a wonderful insight to W H Hudson and bristle with humour and, occasional, indignation. You also get a clear sense of the changing relationship between the writer (Hudson) and the reader (Edward Garnett). Much of the discussion concerns books and writers, with small amounts of natural history and observations on the countryside and country people.Weekly lunches at the Mont Blanc in London formed a small circle of writers and critics, including Hudson, Garnett, Edward Thomas, W H Davies, Stephen Reynolds, Hilaire Belloc, Ford Hueffer and John Galsworthy. The letters feature perspectives on some of these, notably Edward Thomas and Galsworthy.Some light foxing to pages at the start and end of the book. Cover worn and marked.
