His home was Bottengoms Farm, a sturdy yeoman's house once owned by the artist John Nash. From here, Blythe spent almost half a century observing the slow turn of the agricultural year, the church year and village life in a series of rich, lyrical rural diaries.\r\n\r\n   Beginning with the arrival of snow on New Year's Day and ending with Christmas carols sung in the village church, Next to Nature invites us to witness a simple life richly lived. With gentle wit and keen observation Blythe meditates on his life and faith, on literature, art and history, and on our place in the landscape.   It is a celebration of one of our greatest nature writers, and an unforgettable ode to the English countryside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont color=\"red\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe Use Stock Images\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we have over 2 million items for sale we have to use stock images, this listing does not include the actual image of the item for sale.
